Richmond Preparatory Charter School envisions a nurturing and inclusive environment where all students are empowered to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we celebrate diversity and champion the potential of every individual, creating lifelong learners.
Richmond Preparatory Charter School cultivates our community based on teamwork, courage, and integrity. Richmond Prep defines achievement as an exploration of identity to form a sense of belonging and responsibility within our community, and becoming an active member of our school and local community. We will accomplish this through supportive small class sizes, differentiated approaches to learning, and strong partnerships with families, through the lens of social-emotional learning.
Richmond Preparatory Charter School serves all students on Staten Island. We believe all students can benefit from small class sizes, student-centered instruction, and a caring and devoted staff.
Students learn from each other as much as they learn from their teachers. Our classes are welcoming all students, including those with IEPs. Our small class sizes and highly trained staff ensure that all students can learn and grow in the same environment. Our teaching philosophy is that students need to be hands-on with their work and learn through experimentation and experiences.
Fully Inclusive Learning
We embrace diversity by integrating students with differing learning needs in our classrooms. Richmond Preparatory Charter School classes are comprised of 60% general education students and 40% special education students, each working alongside teachers at their own pace.
Individualized Attention
We value the power of small class sizes in increasing student engagement, improving academic performance, and strengthening relationships between students and teachers.
Comp-Sci Program
Students are introduced to the basics of computer science, graduating with the skills needed to succeed in tech-oriented career paths. Beginning in the 10th grade, students have the opportunity to further explore the field through our Information Systems Program hosted by Monroe University. This exciting and unique opportunity is available to students seeking hands-on experience and real-world skills in computer systems, networking, and support, culminating in an industry-recognized CompTIA A+ Certification.
Student Wellness
We recognize the important role mental, emotional, and social wellness plays in fulfilling personal potential, even beyond the classroom. Our robust Wellness program guides students in managing stress, overcoming challenges and practicing conflict-resolution in their everyday lives.
