Girls Preparatory Charter School of the Bronx II

Girls Preparatory Charter School of the Bronx II (GPBX II) will be a replication of Girls Prep Bronx, which was launched in 2009. Currently, Girls Prep Bronx serves 772 students in grades PreK-8 across two campuses. The mission statement of GPBX II, aligned to the mission statement of all school in Public Prep Charter School Academies is: At Public Prep, Girls Prep and Boys Prep scholars are challenged to think and work hard every day. We start early with the end of college completion in mind. We create a warm and joyful culture of rigor in which scholars build strong character by adopting the core values of community, merit, responsibility, and scholarship. Our scholars master the ability to read, write, listen, speak, create, and think deeply across disciplines, with a particular focus on science, the arts, and math. They work independently and in teams to solve problems collaboratively. Girls Prep or Boys Prep alumni will be resilient young scholars of bold intellect. They will be empathetic leaders, knowledgeable and curious about the world. They will be goal-oriented decision-makers empowered to make choices that will lead to life success.
