Mott Haven Village Preparatory High School

Public choice option that is not guaranteed by address and generally depends on district choice or broader application rules.

Mott Haven Village Prep (MVHP) is a small school based on the philosophy that it takes a village to raise a child, preparatory to success in college and careers. In June 2024, we became a Smart Scholars Early College High School, meaning that our students can earn up to 30+ college credits with Hostos Community College. Prepared students begin college classes in Spring of their 1st year of high school. Our caring school environment gives students immediate and appropriate attention that supports personal progress and advances academic achievement. A challenging academic curriculum inspires students to rise above expected goals and reach for excellence. A committed and energetic staff supports this embrace of distinction. With 24 PSAL sports on campus, new clubs starting based on student interests and college classes with the National Educational Equity Lab, which partners us with the best universities (such as Barnard College, University of Pennsylvania, Morehouse College and Howard University, to name a few), there is something for everyone. This past year, our most popular clubs were Boxing, eSports, and Culinary. For 2025-2026, we will have electives in ceramics, printmaking, Black History, Criminal Justice, postsecondary planning and Game Design. We are in our 2nd year of building a four-year high school to college program in Game Design.
