The day will feature presentations by our administration and admissions office, as well as give Prep the opportunity to unveil its brand new, state-of-the-art Science labs. These labs represent the next step in Prep’s continued improvements that started with a complete upgrade in the school’s infrastructure, a new Physical Education/Fitness center, expanded student cafeteria space, and a new Visual Arts Education wing. Prep’s Music Department will also be on full display, with performances by our Jazz Band, Chamber Choir, and Chamber Orchestra, all recently returned from a concert tour in London (our fourth international tour in ten years). In addition to individualized presentations by all our academic departments (eleven in total), all our clubs and activities will be represented. These clubs run the gamut from ethnic to academic to faith-based to hobbies. There is something for everyone at Prep, and if we don’t have it, we’ll start it! And if that weren’t enough, visitors to the Prep will be exposed to our extensive and storied athletic program, featuring nearly 60 teams and sports-related activities. Each and every administrator, faculty member, members of our Parents’ Guild, our 1:1 iPad Program Director, and upwards of 200 students will be on hand to offer presentations and tours, and answer all your questions. There will also be staff members on hand to specifically discuss more seminal concerns, such as academic requirements and tuition assistance. The day promises to be a great one, and is a one that we at Prep always look forward to in terms of sharing all our community has to offer with you. Please call our Director of Admissions, Lisa Schaefer at (718) 423- 8810, x264 with any questions you might have. Prep student march in St. Patrick’s Day Parade Athletics at The Prep ADVERTORIAL
