Our public school, in Brooklyn, NY was created specifically to work with students who have been held back TWICE before entering 9th grade. These are the young people who have been the most overlooked and underserved in the city. They need a place where they can be at the center of the community, rather than feeling like the kids who were left behind. They're smart, passionate teens, who have big struggles with reading, writing and math, and our dedicated team works hard to help them grow in these areas. In the photography and art classroom they can show their brilliance and creativity, and their successes are immediate and visible.
