Our Voices

I look at all of the phenomenal work we have done and continue to do and I am proud, not only of our scholars, but of every person who played a role in our scholars’ education. These accomplishments are a culmination of all of our work and a testament to our passion in ensuring that our scholars receive the best possible education at Democracy Prep.

Natasha Trivers, Chief Executive Officer

Every child should go to a school with strong academics, a firm but fair culture, and an opportunity to express their talents outside of the classroom. Seeing Democracy Prep scholars have these opportunities made me want to come here and work.

Emmanuel George, Regional Superintendent of New York

[Democracy Prep] has always been a place of excellence and innovation with people who are committed to growth, looking to build things, and to create new opportunities for students like offering new courses, extracurricular programs, or special education programs to serve more students.
