If you are looking for one of the best elementary schools or best, highest-ranked middle schools in Cleveland, look no further! All of us at the Prep Schools look forward to meeting you and your future scholar!   The instructors are top notch, and the schools are professional. 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!
