PreK - 8 School » The Perry Street Prep Program

The Perry Street Prep Program

Four Divisions. One Philosophy.
Perry Street Prep serves children from Pre-Kingarten (3 years old) through grade 8.
 
Our large facility allows a dedicated space for each division.
 
Each division is led by its own principal, who knows and understands the age academically and social/emotionally. Students develop social-emotional skills throughout, and receive the support to learn, grow and thrive.

Excellence in Teaching

Devoted and excellent faculty and staff who are on this road together with you.

 

We set high standards and expectations for the school community and believe that all children can achieve excellence. Perry Street Prep PreK-8 School staff members are chosen on this premise. Additionally, our teachers and staff are selected for their dedication to academic rigor, the character of children and themselves and their belief that parents and family play an important role in the educational process. We encourage strong family-school bonds.

 

Family Involvement

We encourage collaboration among students, educators and families to enhance leaning and social growth, knowing that learning extends far beyond the classroom. 

 

Facilities

Large building and outdoor space with a playground allows for student to spread their wings when they need to. We offer Art / Music and Physical education to all grade levels, including a school-wide musical each year. 

 

Special Education

Because of COVID, most children have learning gaps somewhere in their education. Having teachers who understand special populations helps our entire student population. 26% of PSP’s population receive SPED services. PSP offers one of the best special ed programs in the city
