About

Brooklyn Studio Secondary School believes that all students are capable of being strategic learners, and "learn how to learn". At Studio, our motto is that we L.E.A.D. with P.R.I.D.E. Our school community works tirelessly to achieve this through a curriculum that challenges and supports all of our students through individualized learning. Although considered a small school, we pride ourselves on offering programs comparable to a large school. Our students have the opportunity to take numerous electives, including Advanced Placement (AP) courses, courses affiliated with St. Francis College and CUNY College Now. Additionally, students can participate in extracurricular activities including clubs, performance ensembles, and athletic teams.

Art
A key benefit of integrating the arts into your school is the way it encourages learners to reach beyond their limitation and challenge their thinking. Arts integration is strategic to inclusive learning. Arts integration nurtures learner's abilities, conceptual tools and strategies to construct meaning and achieve understanding. We have a new exciting dance program for both High School and Middle School. All students will learn the many new dance techniques (cultural, modern and hip hop).
