Mission Statement

Democracy Prep Public Schools is a network of open-enrollment, high-performing, "no excuses" public charter schools operating in New York City, Camden, New Jersey, the District of Columbia, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The mission of Democracy Prep is to educate responsible citizen-scholars for success in the college of their choice and a life of active citizenship. A simple philosophy guides Democracy Prep staff, scholars and alumni alike: Work Hard. Go to College. Change the World!

About This Cause

Democracy Prep Public Schools received its first charter in 2005. We opened our flagship school, Democracy Prep Charter Middle School, in August 2006. By 2009, DPCS became the highest performing school in Central Harlem and was ranked the number one public middle school in New York City. Democracy Prep Public Schools currently operates seventeen high-performing public charter schools and one program in New York, New Jersey, The District of Columbia, and Baton Rouge educating 5,040 citizen-scholars. The incredible growth of the scholars is possible through the tireless and dedicated work of the educators who make up our DREAM Team. By proving that students, regardless of what zip code they are born into, can perform at high academic levels, we seek to transform not only the lives of the students at Democracy Prep but also the expectation of what public schools can achieve.
