ABOUT THE BROOKLYN CHARTER SCHOOL

The Brooklyn Charter School in Bedford-Stuyvesant is the first charter school of the New York City Department of Education – and so much more. We are a student-focused community of families, highly-qualified professionals and neighborhood leaders who are preparing our children for a future that is bright with possibilities.

Since we opened our doors in 2000 with 78 students, we have opened the minds and expanded the horizons of hundreds of children who go on to achieve success in some of the city’s most highly-rated middle and high schools.
