About

Brooklyn Academy High School is dedicated to educating students who are over-aged and under-credited in a nurturing environment. With small class sizes we aim to give students the individual attention they need to be successful. Our academic program is designed to be challenging, and allows students to engage in critical thinking and the action of self-representation. We expose students to college and career readiness, broadening their horizons on opportunities after high school.
