mission Prep for Prep develops ethical and effective leaders who reect our diverse society for the enduring beneďŹ t of all. The Prep Community includes over 5,000 students and alumni.
MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Dear Friends, In its first 40 years, has Prep for Prep delivered on its promise to create a generation of diverse leaders for our democracy? The answer is resounding and unequivocal: Yes. Our alumni body now boasts over 3,000 superbly educated college graduates and, true to our mission, they are rising to leadership positions in our nation’s defining institutions. During a tumultuous time in this country, they are ethical and effective voices in the debates shaping the future direction of our nation. This year’s report highlights individuals who reflect the core values that have led to Prep’s success. • Excellence — Joseph Myrie, MD (XXIV) and Amanda Boston, PhD (XXII), both recent doctorates dedicated
to improving their communities in their respective fields of study • Integrity— Lauren Williams (P9 XIII), an accomplished journalist influencing the way newsrooms report on
culture and history • Commitment — Prep Trustees Dale Allsopp (VII), Scott Bok, Lisa Cashin, Natalie Swaby Hutchinson (XIV),
and Sue Meng (XV), sustaining and shaping generations of leadership development at Prep for Prep • Courage — Sarah DeSouza (XXXIV), a lead organizer of the citywide school walkouts protesting gun violence,
bringing together over 2,000 youth and educators across Brooklyn More than just accomplished, our alumni embrace an ethos of giving back to their many communities. Their service starts at Prep: nine alumni on the Board — an all-time high — and 12 on the Associates Council. Alumni giving increased by nearly $115,000 over last year. And, within months of defending his doctoral dissertation in education, Jackson Collins (XII) assumed the role of Associate Executive Director at Prep. Even more reassuring, current students — more than 700 at the nation’s leading independent schools and over 600 enrolled at the best colleges in the world — are as impressive as ever. Further evidence of the program’s value came when Fiscal Year 2018 proved our most successful fundraising year ever with nearly $12 million raised. We have this year’s Lilac Ball Honorees to thank for that feat: Martin Lipton and John L. Vogelstein, two of Prep’s founding Board Chairs who have collectively served the organization more than 65 years and gave and raised a remarkable $5.3 million for the event. What a defining moment for Prep when Michael Thomas (XXIV), the 132nd President of the Harvard Law Review, presented them with their awards. Our challenge going forward will be to honor their legacy by ensuring that the program has the resources to fund its critical work. As we stand on the threshold of another decade, I invite you all to deepen and strengthen your ties to Prep. Our work to create a new leadership class has never been more important. With gratitude,
Aileen C. Hefferren

Each year, top students of color from 750 New York City public schools apply for admission to Prep for Prep.
Rising sixth-graders in Prep for Prep and eighth-graders in PREP 9 undergo a rigorous 14-month course of study spanning two intensive summer sessions as well as afterschool Wednesday and all-day Saturday classes during the intervening school year to increase their academic and social preparedness for independent school.
• Nearly 6,000 candidates who scored in the 90+ percentile on statewide English Language Arts and Math tests are nominated by their public schools. • Based on Prep’s initial testing, 1,500 students advance to the next level of evaluation. • Approximately 700 students progress to individual IQ testing, teacher recommendations, and interviews. • Roughly 125 candidates are accepted into Prep for Prep (fifth-graders for day school placement) and 75 are accepted into PREP 9 (seventh-graders for boarding school placement).
• Prep’s rigorous academic program includes History, Research Skills, Literature, Writing Skills, Laboratory Science, Mathematics, and Latin. • The average Preparatory Component class size is 14 students. • Older Prep students serve as Advisors to help guide new students through the program. • Teachers are drawn from leading independent and public schools.
PLACEMENT All students who successfully complete the Preparatory Component (typically 75% of admitted students) are placed in day schools (as seventh-graders) or boarding schools (as ninth-graders). • Forty day schools and 12 boarding schools reserve places for qualified applicants. • Each student visits with five independent schools. • Prep staff assists families with applications and financial aid forms. • Our independent school partners annually commit over $35 million in financial aid to our students.

COLLEGE GUIDANCE
PREP FOR PREP/ SOTHEBY’S ART ACADEMY
Prep for Prep helps students navigate the college application process and find schools that best match their fit and need. College Guidance services include individual counseling, essay review, standardized test preparation, and overnight campus visits. In 2018, Prep offered 25 workshops for families to learn about financial aid, explore the early action/early decision process, and meet with college admissions representatives.
Underwritten by Sotheby’s, the four-week Art Academy introduced 14 high school students to the world of visual arts. Academic and professional program components, such as tours of artist studios and museums, exposed students to careers in art across a range of media and created a foundation for future internships in the field. The New York Times featured the Prep for Prep/Sotheby’s Art Academy in a recent article on diversifying curatorial leadership in the arts.
74%
of high school juniors participated in Prep’s chaperoned college trips in 2018 to explore colleges outside of New York City.
