Lavelle Preparatory Charter School offers a range of student interest clubs, such as technology, sports, literature, and more, catering to our diverse student passions and hobbies. 

Our Student Experience

Beyond the classroom, our students enjoy a well-rounded experience that includes interest-based clubs, hands-on trips, field experiences, and a social-emotional learning program woven into each day.

Embedded into the school schedule, our clubs provide students with opportunities to explore a wide range of interests, from technology and sports to literature and the arts. These experiences allow students to pursue their passions, connect with peers, and build a strong sense of community.

New at Lavelle Prep: HBCU-Style Performing Arts After-School Program

Presented by Big Apple Leadership Academy for the Arts (BALAA)
This school year, Big Apple Leadership Academy for the Arts (BALAA) is bringing the energy, tradition, and excellence of HBCU-style performing arts to Lavelle Preparatory Charter School for grades 1-8.

Through this dynamic after-school program, students will develop leadership, discipline, confidence, teamwork, and performance skills while participating in an authentic HBCU-inspired marching band experience.

Students will have the opportunity to train in:

  • Horns 🎺
  • Percussion 🥁
  • Dance 💃
  • Color Guard 🇺🇸

Beyond weekly training, students will have opportunities to perform at special events, participate in BALAA’s Annual NYC HBCU Audition Fair, explore college and career pathways, and take part in educational travel to HBCU campuses, including Benedict College and Wilberforce University.

Fine Arts Pathway (Grades 5–12)

Our Fine Arts program is designed as a vertically aligned pathway that allows students to develop their creativity, communication, design thinking, and artistic expression throughout their secondary education.

Grade 5

Visual Arts – Students explore the foundations of drawing, painting, color theory, and artistic expression.

Grade 6-7

Performing Arts & Public Speaking – Students build confidence through theater, performance, collaboration, and public speaking

Grade 8

Studio Art & Design – Students strengthen artistic techniques while exploring design principles and creative problem-solving.

Grades 9-10

3D Art Lab – Students engage in sculpture, mixed media, and three-dimensional design while developing portfolio-ready projects.

Grade 11-12

Fashion Design – Students apply artistic and design principles through fashion design, textile exploration, and creative production, culminating in a senior Fashion Show that showcases their work as a capstone experience.

Student Government (Grades 5–12)

Student Government operates across Grades 5–12, providing students with a meaningful voice in shaping the school community. Each grade elects one representative to serve as the voice of their classmates. Grades 5–8 are led by a Middle School Student Body President, while Grades 9–12 are led by a High School Student Body President. Both presidents are elected by their peers and work alongside school leadership to advocate for students, lead school-wide initiatives, strengthen school culture, and foster civic responsibility.

College & Career Readiness (Grades 5–12)

College and career readiness begins in middle school and continues through graduation. Students engage in age-appropriate career exploration, college awareness activities, guest speakers, industry experiences, financial literacy, college visits, and career pathway exploration before progressing to dual enrollment, internships, work-based learning experiences, industry partnerships, and other career-focused opportunities in high school. This intentional progression ensures students graduate with the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed to confidently pursue college, careers, and lifelong success.

Our kindergarteners are diving into the Question Formulation Technique, a Harvard-researched approach that empowers them to ask better questions and grow as curious, self-directed learners! 
Learning this skill early builds confidence, strengthens critical thinking, and shows children their questions matter, helping them grow into engaged, independent thinkers.

We were proud to see a group of our third-grade students supporting one another during their math lesson on rounding. Together, they discussed strategies to round three-digit numbers to the nearest ten or hundred. 
Great job exemplifying our core value of teamwork!
