Writing the Next Chapter
Coney Island Prep Upper Elementary School, located in Bath Beach and serving scholars from Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Sheepshead Bay, and surrounding areas in Brooklyn (zip codes 11224, 11235, 11229), emphasizes the development of critical thinking skills through a rigorous Common Core-aligned curriculum. We also prioritize exposure to performing arts electives. Our scholars progress from learning to read to reading to learn, mastering new skills through our PRIDE Advisory curriculum, and developing a love for learning and a growth mindset.
