Cleveland Foundation Grants Total $15.3 Million

The Village Preparatory School will receive $180,000 to support its first two years of operation. The new elementary school for students in kindergarten through fifth grade will serve as a complement and feeder school to the Entrepreneurship Preparatory School (E Prep), a charter school authorized by CMSD for students in sixth through eighth grade. Village Prep plans to adopt many of the core practices that have made E Prep so successful, including an extended school day and year, uniform policies, a strict code of conduct, and a culture of high expectations.
