About YWCP
Young Women’s College Prep Charter School of Rochester (YWCP) will open with 75 students in seventh grade and grow to serve students in grades 7-12. The school will affiliate with the Young Women’s Leadership Network (YWLN), which supports four highly successful single-gender secondary schools in New York City. The network also affiliates with schools in Maryland, Illinois, and Texas. The flagship YWLN school in East Harlem has celebrated a graduation rate over 96% for the past ten years, and every graduating senior has been accepted to college with significant financial aid. Over 75% of these students have graduated from or remain in college. YWCP will benefit from the structured and targeted support that YWLN provides for its network schools and affiliates.

Our Mission
Young Women's College Prep Charter School of Rochester (YWCP) offers young women from the city of Rochester the opportunity to learn in a single-gender environment, free from stereotypes, where a strong focus is placed on preparation for college enrollment and graduation. High expectations and evidence of concrete results define the student's academic experience. Educators commit to and thrive upon sharing effective practices within and beyond the school building. YWCP partners with families and instills in each student a sense of community, responsibility and ethics. We support students in their endeavors to achieve excellence in and out of the classroom, helping them to develop the strong voices they will need to be leaders.
