Nativity Prep Academy is a private independent middle school and college access program that aims to break the cycle of generational poverty. It provides tuition-free education and long-term support to students from low-income families, helping them graduate from college and become first-generation college students. The school's commitment extends beyond graduation, offering mentoring and tutoring throughout high school and college.
It was college graduation day in 2015. Xochitl Alvarez sat in the audience with tears in her eyes. “Jennifer was among our first graduates,” Alvarez said. “She came to our school not speaking English, worked extremely hard and became the first in her family to graduate college.
” Alvarez is a teacher and director of Graduate Support at Nativity Prep Academy, a private independent middle school and college access program for students from low-income families who would be first- generation college students. Its stated goal is to “break the cycle of generational poverty.” Nativity Prep’s commitment extends beyond graduation from the middle school at eighth grade to mentoring and tutoring through high school and college, including college applications and career selections — an 11-year plus commitment. The school, in Rolando, operates tuition-free with few and nominal activity fees from families. Scholarships are funded by private contributions as are all Nativity Prep’s expenses
