Brooklyn Preparatory High School

Overview written by the school: BP students push themselves to be college-ready from the moment they arrive. We set high expectations and our small supportive environment allows students to work hard to meet them. All students challenge themselves by taking multiple AP courses, doing extended-day and maintaining an 85+ average. In turn, our College Bound Initiative is committed to getting BP students into their dream colleges. BP students build lasting personal connections with BP staff through a four-year advisory program, individualized support classes, and a strong guidance team. Our well-rounded students choose from the wide variety of classes listed below. From Calculus to Sociology, Mentoring to Photography, at BP your choices are endless, success is mandatory.
