YES Prep Public Schools

Founded: 1998

For over 20 years, YES Prep Public Schools has reenvisioned public education. With 14,100 college-bound students across 19 campuses, YES Prep is a system of high-performing public charter schools emphasizing engagement with students from underserved communities. This organization participated in the first cohort of our ‘Transcend+NewSchools Collaborative’ – a multi-faceted nine-month program that guided districts and charter network leaders through a process to reimagine their schools.
