Recently visting E-Prep and Village Prep, on East 36th Street, I was given 2 wonderful tours, and taken through the hallways, the classrooms, and to the various offices. I was so impressed by the way the whole system operates, very quiet, very professional, very college oriented courses. The classwork and the homework is definitely tough. With the schools, teachers, and students daily dedication, anyone can see why E-Prep ranks in very high and strict standards. I see a very, very strong future for the Breakthrough Charter Schools system, the parents and the students must be dedicated and view this type of education as long term and the keys to a strong foundation, and Ultimate Success!
