About

Brooklyn Academy High School is dedicated to educating students who are over-aged and under-credited in a nurturing environment. With small class sizes we aim to give students the individual attention they need to be successful. Our academic program is designed to be challenging, and allows students to engage in critical thinking and the action of self-representation. We expose students to college and career readiness, broadening their horizons on opportunities after high school.

We use Apex Learning as a vendor for our visual arts courses. Our courses include Introduction to Painting, Prehistoric to Late Middle Ages, The Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo, Modernity in the 19th and 20th Centuries, Beyond Western Influence, and Art Cultures of the Americas. In addition, our English teachers provide theater and film study education through their interdisciplinary ELA classes.
