The Brooklyn New School

Översikt

The Brooklyn New School, PS 146, has 25 classes, pre-K through fifth grade, with a current enrollment of approximately 620 children. BNS shares the building with its sister school, The Brooklyn School for Collaborative Studies, grades 6-12.

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 engaged in active learning
where children of different skill levels work together
where parents are involved in their child's education

There are six collaborative team teaching classes and three self-contained special education classes. A resource room teacher, speech and language teachers, occupational therapists and guidance professionals are available to meet special learning and social needs.

The BNS/BCS Green Committee started as a group on Earth Day, 2007, and has since spearheaded recycling, composting and gardening initiatives at 610 Henry Street.
