Forte Preparatory Academy is a proposed 5th-8th grade college preparatory, tuition-free public charter school for Queens, New York, primarily serving students from Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, and North Corona.

Our Mission: Through rigorous academics, quality instruction, and a positive culture of individual and collective responsibility, Forte Preparatory Academy Charter School equips all students in grades 5 through 8 to excel in college preparatory high schools and use their leadership and voice to change the world.

I am signing this petition to affirm that I have read Forte Prep’s mission, I believe in this mission, and I would like to see Forte Preparatory Academy open as a free, public charter school in the fall of 2017.

Thank you for your support. This is just the beginning.

im honestly blown away by how much momentum we have right now. it feels like people are really starting to see how important this school is going to be for our neighborhood.

we are almost at two hundred and fifty signatures and the momentum feels great. keep pushin and sending this to your neighbors because getting over this mark is going to show everyone we are serious.

im still busy working behind the scenes and talking to families who want more options for their kids in queens. the conversations i keep having about what our neighborhood students deserve are just reminding me why we need to make this school happen.

As a long time Queens resident and former New York City public school student, I would have loved having an educational option like Forte Preparatory Academy in my community.

I believe that this school's mission of developing a positive culture of individual and collective responsibility is one of the most important lessons that we can share with young people.

I would love a choice in my borough with the same quality in academics as in Manhattan Prep schools without sending my children to another borough.
