BSNBCS has been approved to open its high school in Fall 2024.

Our decision to open a high school Bedford-Stuyvesant is driven by the school’s long-standing connection to this community, and by our desire to provide inclusive educational opportunities to allow all youth and families to be an important part of this neighborhood’s growth and future success through supporting students’ access to meaningful careers and college options.

Our model will offer, through partnerships with local organizations and colleges, opportunities for students to earn college credits, local internships to apply the critical-thinking and social skills they will develop in community-relevant projects, and hands-on technical and artistic classes where students will be given the chance to discover crafts entrepreneurship.

BSNBCS’s high school planning has four key design elements that are incorporated into the school’s model for grades K-12 and in its operational design: Data Driven Decision Making, Differentiated Instruction, Student Centered Learning and, lastly, Project Based and Experiential Learning Leading to a Self-selected Career Pathway.

While elements of our school model can be found in other areas, cities and states, our K-8 design and high school planning has specifically been tailored to anticipate the needs of high school students from Brooklyn, coming of age in the 2020s, and entering the careers of the present and near future. We learn from others in the field, as elements of our high school student framework are in place at High Tech High in San Diego; our field placements for internships in jobs parallels an existing program from the Cristo Rey parochial school network and our experiential learning program and enrichment week program that will meet the individual needs of our students.

Graduates of Bedford Stuyvesant New Beginnings in twelfth grade will live up to the greater promise of New York City within the imagination in American society: the home of hard working, dedicated and engaged colleagues, students and families who work together with an entrepreneurial spirit where every person has a chance to be successful. With the backdrop of housing projects and construction cranes on previously long-abandoned lots, our development of this specific K-12 model prepares students for vast and diverse post-secondary opportunities to contribute to their neighborhood, city and country.
