Boys and Girls High School

We are ‘The Pride and Joy of Bed-Stuy!’ With effective instruction, along with a welcoming learning environment, we are committed to developing young citizens who are prepared socially and academically for the 21st century. We are organized into four Small Learning Communities – Law, Business & Technology, Entertainment Arts, and Freshman Prep. Our Small Learning Communities are aligned with our belief that children enjoy learning with curricula that are relevant, differentiated, and speak directly to their interests. A CARE Center was created to provide wrap-around services to meet our students’ needs. Students are also provided with CTE opportunities.

• The Brooklyn STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) Center provides a CTE focus on a range of courses in four industry areas: information technology, graphics, engineering, and architecture. The program includes innovative technical training leading to certification and opportunities to earn college credit and will also offer opportunities to complete work-based learning sequences (e.g. internships) to provide pathways to employment and/or post-secondary credentials.
• The Smart Scholars Early College Program is comprised of a rigorous curriculum which endeavors to prepare students for college level courses. During their tenure, scholars will fulfill the New York State high school requirements while obtaining 20 transferable college credits.
• Provides students with computer literacy, maintenance skills, knowledge of programming languages, and the cognitive skills to solve problems through programming. Four-year program includes courses in literacy, programming, maintenance, and repair.
