Antonia Pantoja Preparatory Academy is a school for leadership. We are a New York City public school for students in grades six to twelve dedicated to supporting students to become active, college-ready leaders of their community in the spirit of Dr. Pantoja. Because we are a small school, we get to know every student well and support their needs and growth.
Students join APPA in sixth grade to participate in our full seven-year sequence or preparation for college and career success. Other students join us in ninth grade to spend our high school years with us. Regardless of when they join us, all students are fully supported in a rich, skill-based curriculum dedicated to developing their minds and hearts.
All students interested in joining APPA next year in 6th or 9th grade are invited to join us Wednesday, November 20th at 5 pm here at the school! Take a tour, meet current APPA students, learn more about us, and have some cookies! Be part of our success!
We're super-excited to welcome our new high school students! Last year, APPA High Schoolers made greater literacy gains than any other school in the district! While Algebra scores went down across the city, ours went up!
All 9th graders should report to school on September 4th from 12:30 to 3:00 pm. During this orientation program, students will have lunch with their Freshmen Seminar Classes, receive school supplies, and go through a mini version of their schedule. Students will meet each of their teachers and spend ten minutes in each class.
