David Bing Academy Changes Name to Executive Preparatory Academy of Finance

Aug. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- LOS ANGELES, Ca. - The David Bing Academy announced its decision to change its name to Executive Preparatory Academy of Finance as part of the great institution's rebranding and renaming efforts in preparation for the school's grand opening in Fall 2013.

The announcement was made to the dedicated and loyal followers in the social media realm, last month. Founder, Omar McGee, in conjunction with the board members of the esteemed school, selected this name to ensure an immediate association with the school’s innovative approach to education with the aspirations that are set for its students. Executive Preparatory Academy of Finance (EPA) is a public charter high school whose mission is to close the financial literacy gap within the minority community.

On changing the name Mr. McGee said, “Our school is committed to remaining relentless in our pursuit to prepare future entrepreneurs and leaders through education, commitment, and service. We want our name to reflect our focus. We want our name to reflect our goal. We want our name to reflect our promise to this community. Executive Prep will do our part.”

As for the need for this institution, more than 56% of the residents within the inner-city parts of Los Angeles have not graduated from high-school. With the arrival of Executive Prep comes a school that will change the futures of not only the youth that are enrolled, but the surrounding communities.

“This changes the way students think, the way they view education and the way they view learning.
This educational model is the most innovative approach that I’ve ever seen, said Lou Gossett Jr. who is Oscar Winning Actor/ philanthropist and an active Board Member at Executive Prep.

In preparation for the grand opening of the school, Executive Prep is currently in the process of raising funds and selecting its corporate partners for the renovation of the new school. The school, which will have state-of-the-art facilities, student-run enterprises, interactive curricula, and incorporate the latest in education tech, will be one of the first of its kind for Los Angeles, providing something new for the students and that community.
