Our goal is to prepare our students for a less restrictive environment by developing their communication, academic, self-management, and social skills.

Through our cohesive team of teachers, specialists, and therapists, we offer our promising learners, a rigorous, learner-centered education with integrated supports that foster independence and self-advocacy.

Our teachers, instructors, and related service providers attend staff meetings, which provide opportunities for clinical team meetings for individual students, updates on upcoming events and professional development in areas that affect most of our students. Further, employees develop a professional growth plan with their supervisor and review their goals and performance across the year. Employees are encouraged to seek professional development in their areas of interest or need. Staff training is an integral part of professional development at Tribeca Prep. In addition to regular staff meetings, all staff attend scheduled staff development activities throughout the year, including some days when the students are not in attendance. Tribeca Prep is ideal for those adults who maintain growth mindsets!
