Beyond DC Prep
The mission of PrepNext, DC Prep's alumni support program, is to provide holistic support to DC Prep graduates as they pursue success through high school and higher education.
PrepNext supports all DC Prep alumni for 10 years after 8th-grade graduation throughout their educational journeys and the start of their careers, with a focus on key moments of transition: 8th to 9th grade, high school to higher education, and school to career.
Through our deep belief in community, the power of education, and strong relationships, we strive to be an ongoing resource for our students and their families as they navigate the larger and often more complex world beyond DC Prep.
All DC Prep graduates are forever a part of the DC Prep Alumni Association, which fosters connection and networking opportunities within our community.
Start Here. Go Anywhere.

100%
