K - 5 Admissions

Children are admitted to BNS in grades K - 5 by lottery. There is no entrance test and no pre-admission interview. Parents are asked to fill out a simple application. There are open house dates scheduled for fall and winter. Parents are urged to attend an open house before they apply. BNS is not a zoned school; children who live in Brooklyn are eligible to apply. Check the DOE website for citywide information about elementary school enrollment.
