The Brooklyn Green School

The Brooklyn Green School is a progressive middle school, located in the historic Weeksville district of Crown heights. A day in the life of a BKG student may include Advisory & Restorative Circles, Art, Taekwondo, Theater, Yoga, Mindfulness, Technology, Inquiry based Science,Health Class (designed based on the cultures and experiences of the students we teach), Math and Humanities. Every BKG Scholar's voice is important and students participate in the decision making as members of the School Leadership Team, School Advisory Board and Student Government. There is a strong emphasis on community service and social justice embedded in our curriculum. Students engage in multiple sports inside and outside of physical education class. At BKG we believe that students learn best by "doing." We are a project based learning school, in which students have many opportunities to design, create and present. At BKG learning is not confined to the four walls of the school building. NYC is our classroom! Students take frequent trips in and around the community, all over the city and out of state. Every BKG students' background and experiences are valued and everyone is viewed as a uniquely wonderful, contributing member of the school community.
