Brooklyn Collaborative is committed to developing students and staff who are kind, openminded, persistent, responsible, and courageous. Our students and our curriculum reflect the city we live in. We are committed to being diverse with regard to race, ethnicity, socio-economics, religion, and academics. Our students see themselves and their communities represented widely in the history they study, the books and texts they read, and the expeditions they engage in. Our students use the city as their classroom. Fieldwork is a regular part of learning at Brooklyn Collaborative: students regularly meet with experts, tour neighborhoods and museums, analyze artifacts, collect lab samples, and more. We are committed to developing the social and emotional self as well as the academic self through Crew. In crew (a daily advisory class), students learn to be agents of self-change, to take responsibility for their learning, and to develop supportive relationships with adults and peers. We are a Grades 6-12 school with a 100% college acceptance rate and a NYS Regents waiver. Our school is a FutureReadyNYC school offering the best of college and career exploration and preparation in Education - an industry that is fast-growing and in high-demand in our city. Through our focus on career and college readiness, Brooklyn Collaborative students acquire 21st century employability skills, take college-accredited courses while in HS, engage in 1-1 advising and graduate prepared for college and/or careers in NYC's growing education field. There's something for everyone at BCS!
