About Capital Preparatory Schools
Capital Preparatory Schools is a charter school management organization operating a network of educational communities. Our mission is to build a path where there was none. The Capital Prep community—our scholars, parents, faculty, and staff—commit to creating a compelling and meaningful educational experience. The Capital Preparatory Schools have four locations: Harlem, NY; the Bronx, NY; and two locations in Bridgeport, CT, providing students in grades K–12 with a year-round, college-preparatory education that encourages students to become scholars and agents of change.

Capital Preparatory Schools believes that all children, when given the right conditions and environment, will succeed and excel in their academic and social-emotional growth. This is achieved by blending elements of academic models that support scholars from historically disadvantaged populations with innovative approaches that get 100% of our graduates accepted to four-year colleges.
