We provide a comprehensive college and career counseling department to ensure our students engage in enriching summer programming, develop individual career plans, are fully prepared for the SAT college entrance exam, and go on to enroll in a college or career opportunity that meets their interests, abilities, and financial needs. Students take part in a two-year College Readiness sequence, consisting of College and Career Readiness (CCR) or Foundations of Career Development (FOCD) in junior year and Senior College and Career Counseling (SCCC) in senior year.

We offer a multitude of art electives in Visual Arts, Graphic Design, Music, Choir, Dance and Drama. We provide students with introductory, advanced and AP level courses. Our after-school programs offer choir, dance, spoken word, drama, step, visual arts, yearbook, Fall play, and Spring musical. Students can participate and perform in nearly a dozen school productions, competitions, and outside performances throughout the school year.

KIPP NYC College Prep offers a robust athletics program and was the first charter school to compete in the Public School Athletic League (PSAL). We offer football, soccer, volleyball, cheerleading, basketball, wrestling, baseball, softball, track, and lacrosse. We have varsity programs and junior varsity programs, totaling more than a dozen interscholastic sports teams. Additionally, we offer intramural flag football, basketball, and kickball to give students the benefits of team support in a less competitive setting. Approximately a quarter of our student body participates in our athletic program, and we have won city championships in Football, Men’s Varsity Basketball, Men’s Varsity Baseball, and Women’s Varsity Rugby.

We provide our students with meals that are nutritious, delicious, and most importantly, homemade in the school’s state-of-the-art kitchen by professionally trained chefs. The kitchen staff includes College Prep alumni and students’ family members. All meals for students are free; we provide breakfast and lunch at no cost. Breakfast options include cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, and assorted bagels, as well as a hot breakfast. For lunch, we offer a main entree that consists of a protein, grain, and a vegetable with assorted fruit options. Students can build their own salad at our salad bar, or try a prepared salad. Fresh milk and filtered water are available with every meal. In addition to our standard menu, we also offer vegetarian and vegan options every day.
