PENINSULA PREPARATORY ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL

THE PENINSULA PREPARATORY ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL IS A PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN IN KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST THROUGH FIFTH GRADE LOCATED IN FAR ROCKAWAY, NEW YORK. IT EDUCATES CHILDREN ON A COMPLETELY NONDISCRIMINATORY AND SECULAR BASIS. THE FOUNDERS AND SUPPORTERS OF THE SCHOOL BELIEVE THAT ACCESS TO A PUBLIC EDUCATION OF HIGH QUALITY FOR ALL CHILDREN IS THE FOREMOST ISSUE. Our vision is to firmly maintain a school environment that has high expectations for every child and challenges each child not only to surpass all the common core state standards, but also to discover the unique talents and attributions they have to contribute to the world. In order for our vision to be realized, we believe philosophically that every child must be provided first with a strong foundation in the academia- specifically Reading, Writing and Mathematics. The scholar's exploration of the academics must be interwoven with higher order thinking processes, including but not limited to problem solving,
