Invictus Preparatory Charter School

Invictus Prep serves students in East New York, Brooklyn in grades 5-8. Invictus Prep believes that ALL students can be prepared for college success. It takes hard work to make this belief a realit...y. Invictus Prep believes that it takes a certain kind of school to make good on the promise of college success for all. These four core beliefs frame the decisions we make as we work towards that goal. 1. High Academic Expectations Lead to High Academic Achievement We expect all of our scholars to succeed in the four core academic areas of English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. However, proficiency is not enough to be considered college-ready. We expect every single one of our scholars to become masters of their studies; Invictus Prep’s curriculum is built to ensure a sound academic foundation for eventual expertise in all subjects. 2. Learning is Easiest in a Safe, Structured School Learning cannot occur in an environment of disorder and chaos. Invictus Prep has very high expectations for student behavior, and will not allow students to disrespect the school, our staff, other students, or themselves. 3. Literacy is Everything Literacy is the academic skill upon which all learning is based. A student cannot be considered college-ready if they cannot read critically, write eloquently, and speak fluently. Invictus Prep provides its students with a a minimum of two hours of literacy instruction daily. 4. Character Counts We believe that is our responsibility to teach our students to make good decisions. All Invictus Prep students receive weekly instruction on the meaning of Integrity, Courage, Excellence, and Determination.
