MISSION
PEL Prep combines four distinctive elements:
Gospel-centered worldview
Classical curriculum
Collaborative Learning
Cultivation of joyful discovery
Each student is important to us at PEL Prep, and we see the part we play in their education as a true privilege. Read on to find out more about the benefits of our courses, or contact us to learn more.
PEL PREP will equip students to become discerning scholars, faithful leaders, compassionate servants, and instruments of light to the Long Island area and beyond.
PEL PREP seeks to partner with parents to prepare students for a lifelong pursuit of learning through classical methodology and joyful discovery; developing depth of character, wisdom, and a desire to engage their world for the glory of God.

if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8
