Our oldest son finished the Prep for Prep program 2 years ago, and now our second son is following in his footsteps. There is no other way we would want our child to make that transition to an independent school other than having that Prep for Prep experience. Yes, it is a rigorous 4 months of working really hard, but in the end it is all worth it. My sons have learned leadership qualities, belief in themselves as a minority, and the courage to put forth their best all the time. The independent school my child now attends challenges him in so many ways that the public school could never. I highly advise the Prep for Prep program.

If you are a minority in the New York area, Prep for Prep is a worthwhile resource to look into. Students can apply for the program as a 5th, 6th, or 7th grader. Although there are some pretty rigorous requirements for the program, it seems to be a very beneficial program.
