Building the Future: The New Forte Prep High School

Forte Preparatory Academy is building something historic in Queens: a brand-new, state-of-the-art high school campus designed to serve hundreds of students from traditionally underserved communities.

Opening for the 2026/2027 school year, this new facility will give students the safe, inspiring, and fully equipped learning environment they deserve

Our new 60,000-square-foot, six-story high school will include over 25 classrooms, a full gym, science labs, music and art studios, a college and career center, and more.

Fortunately, construction of the building is fully funded through our development partners. But the building itself is just the start—we need your support to turn this space into a school.

To open the new campus by August 2026, we must raise $2.5 million in private funding to cover the essential startup costs: classroom furniture, science and art equipment, library shelves, technology, safety systems, and even a rooftop turf field.

Together, we can make sure the new Forte Prep High School reflects the strength, creativity, and determination of the students who will fill it.

Why Now?

• Construction is underway: The concrete and steel have been finished from the ground level to the 6th floor!
• We must be move-in ready by August 2026—and that means ordering furniture, tech, and equipment this year.
• Every dollar raised now helps us stay on schedule—and open our doors without compromise.

Help us build a school that matches our students' ambition and potential.
