Who we are
This fall, Bay Ridge Prep invites you to join us for one of our Admissions Open House events. These events are the best way to experience our community firsthand—explore our academic, arts, athletics, and student life programs, take a student-led tour, and connect with our faculty. You’ll gain a true sense of our mission, culture, and the spirit that makes Bay Ridge Prep unique.
If you’re unable to attend an Open House, we also offer Admissions Info Sessions. These include a group tour and an introduction to our programs, providing a helpful overview of life at Bay Ridge Prep.
