About the school

Our school community offers students a rigorous and engaging academic program, with a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We understand that the middle school experience is unique, and we offer a safe and fun place to be a kid. Supported by dedicated teaching staff, administration, and PTA, students are provided with opportunities to engage in hands-on, inquiry-based curriculum while constructing knowledge within a meaningful context. Our Exploration Program is an outgrowth of our school's philosophy: middle school students are social individuals and benefit from learning through cooperative groups. The Exploration experience provides students with the opportunity to get off-site and explore city-wide educational institutions. Students have arts (music, theater, dance, visual art, and technology) for all three years. Our advisory program supports students' academic, social, and emotional learning, and we employ restorative practices across our school. Our free after-school program allows students to learn new skills and share common interests, through sports, arts, and leadership. We have earned a Blackboard Award for Outstanding School in Brooklyn and consistent excellent ratings on the School Quality Snapshot.
