The Brooklyn New School is located at 610 Henry Street. It has 24 classes, pre-K through fifth grade, with a current enrollment of approximately 550 children. BNS was founded in 1987 by a committee of parents and teachers who wanted to create a school:   ~  with a racial, ethnic and economic balance   ~  where children are engaged in active learning   ~  where children of different skill levels work together   ~  where parents are involved in their child’s education The Brooklyn New School 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. BNS NEWS ~  Thanks to Genevieve Villaflor and Cheryl Browne and the Green Committee with help from the Food Committee for putting on a fun and delicious celebration. We ate a healthy potluck meal, played with worms, painted a mural, made stuffed animals out of recycled material, made lights out of potatoes and lemons with Barbara, and more! There were green cleaning products and Fair Trade yummies for sale, and cloth shopping bags to decorate. A raffle was held for a beautiful table made out of wood scraps donated by Scott Raffaele... wow!
