A new branch of educational excellence in Louisville.
A Black and woman founded, HBCU-inspired private school serving a diverse group of scholars from Pre-K to 8th grade.
The achievement gap is not an intellectual gap.
Given Louisville's climate around social justice and the achievement gap, Coleman Prep opened with one purpose: providing educational excellence and promoting it within our scholars.
We know test scores only show a snapshot of a child's intellect. We know excellence is present, and our job is to draw it out. For a child to succeed, the right resources need to be within reach — so we built a program that attacks the achievement gap from multiple angles and dispels the assumption that a gap in achievement is a gap in intellect.
We use a stakeholder approach that brings every person invested in a child's education to the table — because we are all responsible — with specialized programming and instruction so our children are prepared to accomplish their hopes and dreams.
Every scholar is a Trailblazer.
We empower our Trailblazers to go into the world and exhibit four traits.
Tenacity
Scholars who keep going, keep asking, and finish strong.
Innovation
Creative thinkers ready to solve real problems.
Confidence
Young people who know their worth and use their voice.
Integrity
Leaders whose character matches their potential.
