Leadership Prep Bed-Stuy develops its curriculum directly from the New York State Learning Standards that ensures students master a core set of basic academic skills before mastering higher-level material. We also use internally developed assessments to build a culture of continuous reflection and improvement.

Partnering with Families

We hold families—our most important community partners—to high expectations, and we assume that they will hold us to equally high standards. Families ensure that their children arrive at school on time every day, in uniform, and ready to learn. Families check that students complete their homework each night. They support the school in enforcing the Code of Conduct. Leadership Prep Bed-Stuy communicates with families frequently to share successes and discuss challenges.
