Admissions

We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible. – Barack Obama

Thank you for your interest in enrolling your child at East New York Prep! 

East New York Prep does not charge any tuition and we are open to all residents in New York City.  We serve scholars with special needs, English Language Learners, Gifted & Talented scholars as well as any other student that enters our random lottery.  Automatic entry is given to siblings of current students. All other students are accepted via the blind, random lottery.  The 2010-2011 academic year lottery will take place on Saturday, April 17th at 12 noon in the school auditorium.  All applicants are encouraged to attend this public event.

Kindergarten
Kindergarten serves as our primary entry grade. Each year, we accept 75 students into our new kindergarten grade. Those first 75 selected children, along with the siblings of current students, are automatically offered a seat into the school for the upcoming school year.

First Grade
For the 2010-2011 academic year, we will accept 75 students into first grade.

All Other Grades
Each year, we accept approximately 15 students onto the waitlists for all other grades.  Students on the waitlist will be offered a seat in the school as they become available each September.
