About the school

The Brooklyn School of Inquiry programs are designed to foster self-directed learning by encouraging exploration, inquiry and reflective thinking. We are a K-8, citywide gifted and talented school, rooted in the principles of inquiry-based learning and progressive education. We emphasize STEAM education, literacy development, play-based learning and social and emotional development. The 2017-2018 school year marked the beginning of the Diversity in Admissions program and 40% of our incoming kindergarten class is eligible for free or reduced price lunch. We are not a zoned, community school and 85% of our students are bussed to the school by either the Office of Pupil Transportation or private busses that are funded by the families that use them. We are deeply committed to a strong sense of community rooted in the Tribes Agreements, Responsive Classroom approaches and our middle school advisory program. We feel strongly that student choice allows for positive growth and development, therefore during the school day, we offer lunch clubs, elective courses and our students engage in a variety of after school programs such as debate, band, robotics, musical theater and art and math clubs. We have a state-of-the-art rooftop STEM lab where all students study hydroponics, aquaponics and other environmental science topics.
