Pathways to Opportunity

We strive to ensure that in every classroom, every day, all students engage in aligned, rigorous and active learning that will lead them through a successful and memorable academic journey. Our small school setting focuses on providing each student with support and individualized attention to help them succeed through graduation, college and in their career.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

At YES Prep, diversity, equity and inclusion are central to achieving our mission. We believe that all students deserve to see themselves in the adults who shape their lives and that diverse teams are strong teams.

COLLEGE INITIATIVES

Our college initiatives programming is designed to ensure all students have viable post-secondary options and successfully support them in navigating the transition from high school to college and campus to career. By designing a fivepillar model (advising, student opportunities, seminar, alumni support, partnerships) we know our students will be prepared for college, military and the workforce.

SPECIAL POPULATIONS

At YES Prep, we are committed to working with families to make sure all of our students get the support they need to be successful. To ensure that all students have access to a college-ready education, we offer a variety of supports and services to students who have identified needs.

1:1 means every student in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade receives a laptop. YES Prep believes in transforming teaching and learning into a collaborative learning environment for all learners and increasing technology in the classrooms allows for differentiated, adaptive and personalized learning. Each student receiving a laptop allows: • Learning at one’s own pace • Accessing up-to-date information when needed (i.e. updated digital textbooks) • Teachers to see how students are learning in real time and where they are in understanding of the content • Easier ways to reach diversity in learning styles • Increased collaboration while honoring self-improvement • Strengthening their digital literacy skills • Teachers to develop an environment where students stay engaged • Access to career and college readiness

PARTNERS IN EDUCATION

Families, schools, and our communities play a crucial role as partners in the education of every child. The Family Engagement Framework articulates our responsibility to create a sustained, strategic path forward to ensure we are serving and supporting every family who chooses our schools for the education of their child.
