College
At Democracy Prep we believe that early exposure to the college process is one of the best ways to ensure scholar success in the college of their choice. Due to increasingly competitive college admission pools, we prepare our scholars for the college process as soon as they enter our doors as freshmen.
Throughout a student’s time at Democracy Prep, we work hard to build their academic and personal profiles. We do this by offering rigorous PSAT, SAT and ACT prep as well as assisting students with applications to prestigious external ACCESS programs and competitive internships. It is never too early to start preparing for college.
