Our People

Students & Parents

Students and parents are the lifeblood of our school community.

Students: Coney Island Prep welcomes any and all students who are grade-level eligible. Our academic program is specifically designed to address the unique needs of students in and around Coney Island, and we welcome students who are classified as special education and English Language Learners also. In addition, our rigorous academic program is particularly geared towards helping students who are at-risk of academic failure and are in need of additional academic support. We look forward to working with all students to ensure that they reach their full potential!

Parents: We steadfastly believe that parents and schools need to be partners in a child’s education. The two need to be aligned philosophically and reinforce each others’ messages, so that the child is surrounded by a coherent, consistent and collective voice which nurtures, encourages and demands academic success. We will foster a successful partnership with the parents of our children through a variety of steps listed below:

  • Information Sessions
  • Home Visits
  • Parent-Teacher Conferences
  • Parent Orientations
  • Weekly Syllabi
  • Formal Commitments to Excellence
  • Workshops
  • Community Volunteers (tutors, etc.)
  • Family Surveys
  • Family Newsletters
