VISION & MISSION
Brooklyn Arbor is a comprehensive learning community dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment where students can thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. All students will receive an education that places a premium on relationships, engagement with the wider community, and scholarship.
At Brooklyn Arbor, we firmly believe that this period of exploration, discovery and practice should be met with an interdisciplinary, project-based, arts and technology infused curriculum which will encourage developing minds to forge connections, take intellectual risks, and foster strong habits and values.
Brooklyn Arbor maintains that school, at all grade levels, should be meaningful, fun-filled and responsive to each child. Our goal, in partnership with parents, is to cultivate a college-bound student body full of organized, self-reliant, resilient and flexible learners who respond to tricky personal and global issues with zest and reason, as the world that will one day be theirs will undoubtedly demand it.
