Unity Prep Charter School – Middle School

Unity Prep Charter School - Middle School is a middle school in Brooklyn, NY. It is a tuition-free public charter school serving students in grades 6 through 12, with the middle school years forming the foundation of that path. The school's mission is to empower students as scholars and citizens so they may lead fulfilling academic, personal, and professional lives. Its academic program is built on a rigorous liberal arts and sciences curriculum, and middle school students take Regents courses. Support is highly personalized: a student-to-staff ratio of 7:1 across more than 500 students, daily advisory, small classes, and designated counseling in academics, mental health, and college and career readiness. Beyond the classroom, students have access to more than 20 athletic teams and 16 elective clubs, along with cultural and community programs and regular community service initiatives. Families can take part through the Family Ambassadors program. Recent results include a 100 percent college admission rate for 2024 graduates, a 93 percent four-year graduation rate against a citywide rate of 85 percent, and every graduate having taken an AP course before graduating.

The school describes a Unity education as personalized, inclusive, and well-rounded, focused on each child's long-term growth as a skillful learner. Its design rests on three core elements that reinforce one another: rigorous liberal arts and sciences academics; enrichment and extra-curriculars that broaden core learning and build skills in technology, communication, teamwork, and critical and creative thinking; and civic engagement programming that takes students beyond the classroom to develop adaptability, empathy, initiative, productivity, and responsibility. A Board of Trustees with expertise in education, finance, law, and real estate oversees the school, reviewing data dashboards, updating policies, and guiding school-wide priorities through quarterly committee work. The school also offers facility rentals for classes, sports, performances, meetings, conferences, and celebrations.

The school is located at 432 Monroe St, Floor 3, in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of central Brooklyn. Israel Putnam Playground is about 0.1 miles away, and the First Quincy Street Community Garden and Feeding Tree Garden are each roughly 0.2 miles from the building. The New York City Police Department's 79th Precinct is about 0.3 miles away.

Unity Prep pairs a 7:1 student-to-staff ratio and a full college admission rate for its 2024 graduates with a Brooklyn setting in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, where its middle school years set the groundwork for the Regents courses and AP study that follow.
