REACH PREP: CHARTING A COURSE TO PREP SUCCESS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE FROM MINORITY BACKGROUNDS
REACH Prep is a scheme which exists to support exceptional young people from Black and Latinx ethnic minority backgrounds in the New York and Connecticut region with a route to university by way of an elite preparatory school education. The organisation counts a number of nationally and internationally renowned independent schools amongst its programme partners. REACH Prep has seen hundreds of young adults matriculating at the most prestigious colleges and universities across North America.
ABOUT
REACH Prep began in 1994 at Greenwich Academy. From the outset the scheme was designed to identify young women of great character and outstanding academic ability who might not otherwise be viable candidates for enrolment in the nation’s elite college-preparatory schools and universities. Middle School age girls from Latinx and Black backgrounds could apply to join REACH Prep who would support them preparing for entry to, financing their place and succeeding at these schools. In 2000 the scheme began to welcome boys from a similar background too.
Early entrants into the scheme are invited to attend REACH Prep Academy to undergo a programme of rigorous study in order to hone their skills and adjust to the challenges of a college-preparatory environment at High School. Once a place at a partner school has been secured, REACH Prep continues to support its pupils financially and as an advisor until they enter third-level education. In addition, REACH Prep pupils are inducted into a lifetime network of successful, intellectual people who have been supported by the scheme.
REACH Prep’s success has seen the initative expanded every year since its foundation, such that some 250 new pupils are supported by the scheme each year. The network of schools with whom REACH Prep has partnered also continues to grow, including the highly-selective, top-ranked schools listed below. All of the partner schools are fully-accredited and are in good standing with the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) (with Reach Prep also being a subscribing member). Those with boarding programmes are accredited by The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS).
If you would like to find out more about REACH Prep or discuss your potential candidacy, you can get in touch with them using the contact details below. Alternatively, you might speak to your preferred school about the admissions pathway or their work with REACH Prep and other, similar schemes (such as Prep for Prep, the Wight Foundation, A Better Chance and the Oliver Scholars programmes). The REACH Prep participant schools are listed below.
