Peninsula Preparatory Academy Character Development Program

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
“In January of 2012, the New York City Department of Education (“DOE”) decided not to renew the charter of Peninsula Preparatory Academy Charter School (“PPA”).  However, PPA is challenging the DOE’s decision in court.  The Court has issued a Temporary Restraining Order halting the effect of the DOE’s decision until the Court hears arguments on the merits.  While  PPA will remain open for now, remaining open in the 2012-2013 school year will ultimately depend on the Court’s decision.”  
The School will be accepting applications for the 2012-2013 school year and holding a lottery- please see link: Application in PDF or  Application in Word and/or contact school to complete an application. Acceptance letters will be issued for the 2012-13 and will be conditioned on the outcome of the litigation.  Parents may sign up for multiple options, including PPA, and may choose later what the best option is for their child; just getting a slot in the School does not require you to go there; however, not applying now may prevent future enrollment as PPA’s enrollment is limited.
Thank you

Message from the Principal

 At Peninsula Preparatory Academy Charter School we are dedicated to ensuring that each scholar graduates from grade 12 with the skills and strategies required to successfully navigate through college and positively impact the world around them. The future of our scholars is the motivation for our work each and every day in which we build a culture and curriculum that rivals the best schools in the country. We know that with effective instruction, firm behavioral and social expectations; and a reciprocal commitment from the parental community, we can create a school environment that prepares our scholars to become globally competitive and world-class citizens. Only the best is acceptable from our scholars, teachers, and leaders of our school, where we focus on rigorous academics with frequent evaluations, exemplary teaching practices, more time for learning, and a respectful/disciplined school culture ensuring character development. 

I look forward to working with you to make the future bright, by providing a solid educational foundation for our children.
  
Sincerely, 
Ericka Wala
Principal
