World Journalism Preparatory (WJP), located in Flushing, Queens, is a unique 6–12 secondary school that integrates a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum with a specialized focus on journalism and media literacy. As a College Board school, its academic culture is heavily centered on preparing students for higher education through the Advanced Placement (AP) program and a strong emphasis on writing, critical thinking, and research skills. The school’s mission is to cultivate students who are not only academically proficient but also informed, ethical citizens capable of analyzing the world through a journalistic lens.

Beyond the standard academic core, WJP distinguishes itself by requiring students to engage in multi-year journalism sequences. Students have the opportunity to produce school media, conduct investigative reporting, and participate in internships or workshops that bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world media production. By blending a traditional "prep school" environment with vocational training in digital media and communications, the school aims to produce graduates who are articulate, tech-savvy, and prepared to succeed in a wide array of competitive university programs and professional fields.
