Sean 'Diddy' Combs To Open School in NYC's Harlem: 'Every Young Person Should Have The Tools They Need To Succeed'

Sean "Diddy" Combs spent his last five years planning to build a charter school called Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School in Harlem, New York City. This fall, the school will become reality. Sean "Diddy" Combs is eyeing to help more children by giving them opportunities by finishing their studies.

According to People, Sean "Diddy" Combs has been busy talking to a lot of community leaders and education experts to pursue his planned charter school. In fact, Sean "Diddy" Combs asked the help of Dr. Steve Perry, founder of the Capital Preparatory Schools organization to build the Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School.

"Every young person should have the tools they need to succeed," Sean "Diddy" Combs said. For Sean "Diddy" Combs, all children must have the right to follow their dreams, and building Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School will help them achieve these. 

In fact, developing the Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School is one of Sean "Diddy" Combs dream come true. "I want to impact the lives of young people in my community, and build future leaders. The first step is offering access to a quality education," Sean "Diddy" Combs explained.

At the opening of Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School in fall, the charter school will start to teach Grades 6 and 7 in its first year. Later on, Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School will add another grade every year until it completes Grades 6 to 12.

Students and staff who are interested in joining the Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School are free to apply at www.capitalprepharlem.org. Meanwhile, New York City public schools, along with shelters and jails, now have to supply every young girls and woman "menstrual hygiene products" if the new bills pass, according to Council Member Julissa Ferreras-Copeland.

The proposal would only develop the already applied project of Julissa Ferreras-Copeland, who gives out "free pad and tampon dispensers" in 25 schools in Queens and the Bronx. Julissa Ferreras-Copeland is now eyeing to bring this development to all the "elementary, middle and high schools," Huffington Post reports.
