Program

Students begin their journey in our 14-month Preparatory Component, an intensive academic enrichment program held after school, on weekends, and during the summer. This foundational phase equips students with the advanced skills and discipline needed to excel at top independent schools. 

Upon successful completion of the Preparatory Component, students are eligible for placement at a leading independent day or boarding school in New York City or across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. We work with families to identify schools where students will thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, and provide ongoing support throughout their school years. 

We offer comprehensive student support services to ensure our scholars thrive in. their new academic environments. This includes regular check-ins, academic monitoring, social-emotional learning, and access to mental health professionals who understand the unique experiences of students in independent school settings. 

Leadership is at the heart of our mission. Throughout their Prep for Prep Journey, students engage in leadership seminars, public speaking opportunities, community service initiatives, and internships that foster confidence, resilience, and a commitment to social impact. 

Prep for Prep's commitment doesn't end with college admissions. Our Undergraduate Affairs team supports our students in college with advising, academic workshops, social programming, and wellness resources, laying the groundwork for lifelong leadership and success.
