Future Forward
Writing the Next Chapter
At Coney Island Prep Upper Elementary School, we focus on developing the full range of critical thinking skills through a rigorous Common Core aligned curriculum, while increasing exposure to electives in the performing arts. Our scholars transition from learning to read, to reading to learn, tackle new skills through our PRIDE Advisory curriculum, and fall deeper in love with learning and developing a growth mindset.
Spotlight: Conceptual Math Lays the Foundation
Developing Foundational Skills
Modern Mathematics and Algorithmic Thinking for the 21st Century: We pair the EngageNY curriculum with Zearn to teach a conceptually based math program in small groups, while leveraging technology so students are able to work at their own pace and get instant feedback.
