SCHOOL DESCRIPTION: The Brooklyn New School (preK-5th grade) is committed to academic and personal success for all students. We believe that children are creators of meaning in their own lives. They are naturally thoughtful and curious, and they work to gain understanding of the world they inhabit. When the adults who care for children foster this effort, children become life-long learners. Brooklyn New School students master concepts as active thinkers and doers. Math, science, social studies, art and music are integrated in hands-on exploration. Children study the city, the environment, history and culture. They learn to ask questions, use tools to measure, make estimates and draw conclusions about what they see and feel. Children learn their ties to other people, to the past and to the future. They become stronger readers and writers by using reading and writing as tools to carry out their investigations. Our inquiry based curriculum enables students to problem solve and to effect change. Students develop projects with teachers in and outside of the classroom. We are committed to education which stresses cooperation rather than competition.
