Founded in 2011, People's Prep prepares all of our students to graduate from the college of their choice as informed, involved, and resilient citizens. Our core values of Grit, Empathy, Achievement, Curiosity, Humility, and Enthusiasm are at the heart of students' daily experiences so that they are successful at the college of their choice and in life.• Grit: We never give up. We do whatever it takes. We find another way.• Empathy: We understand and serve the needs and feelings of others. We listen first and welcome differences of opinion. We support our teammates.• Achievement: We set ambitious goals. We focus on results. We make each other better.• Curiosity: We are eager to learn. We explore new things. We ask questions that deepen our understanding.• Humility: We embrace our mistakes because we always have room to grow. We relentlessly seek feedback. We are grateful for our opportunities and advantages.• Enthusiasm: We choose to stay positive. We invigorate others. We go all in, all the time.Our students benefit from a 6:1 staff-to-student ratio that ensures individualized academic and social-emotional support; an engaging academic program that emphasizes core instruction while also providing arts and sports offerings; and internships with area partners including Big Brothers Big Sisters, Teach for America, and the Newark Downtown District. Our instructors benefit from flexible scheduling, approximately 300 hours of annual professional development, and multiple leadership pathways. Together, these elements have produced promising results for our entire school community, including a 90% two- or four-year college acceptance rate for our first graduating class and a 90% average teacher retention rate.
