Description

ORGANIZATION  Democracy Prep Public Schools (DPPS) was founded in Harlem in 2005 with a bold mission: to educate responsible citizen-scholars for success in the college of their choice and a life of active citizenship. What began as a single school has grown into a nationally recognized network serving over 5,500 students in grades K–12 across multiple states. At Democracy Prep, academic excellence and civic engagement go hand in hand. We believe that preparing students for college is just the beginning—that they must also be equipped to lead, serve, and shape a better world. Our schools combine rigorous instruction, a joyful culture of high expectations, and transformative experiences—from global travel to local activism—to help every student see themselves as powerful agents of change. Our work is grounded in the unwavering belief that all students can achieve at the highest levels, and our community of passionate, mission-aligned educators is the heart of that effort. Together, we are building schools that inspire, challenge, and prepare the next generation of changemakers.
