Brooklyn Dreams Charter School

At Brooklyn Dreams Charter School our credo is simple: Set high-standards, make expectations clear, provide meaningful instruction, and watch children excel academically. At Brooklyn Dreams Charter School every student is given the tools for success, in and out of the classroom. With a commitment to work, good citizenship, and personal responsibility students experience a safe, secure environment where learning and achievement can thrive.

A quality K-8 education sets the critical foundation for a student’s success in high school, college, and beyond. Achievement may look different for each individual, but our goal is to prepare every student to pursue a college opportunity. It is with this goal in mind that Brooklyn Dreams Charter School’s curriculum is designed to meet state standards and equip students with the specific skills and knowledge they need to master in each content area at each grade level.

Brooklyn Dreams Charter School believes that great schools should aim to develop both a student’s heart and mind. To that end, we have implemented a moral focus curriculum that builds on the virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude, while incorporating these virtues into moral, performance, and social character lessons. Through these lessons, students learn to build and maintain strong personal character while developing the qualities necessary to help them to achieve academic success and become good citizens.

Research shows that the more parents are involved in their child’s education, the more likely the child is to be successful. Brooklyn Dreams Charter School’s commitment to foster strong partnerships with parents is a critical part of our child-centered focus. We have found that our parents value being treated as partners, and understand the important role they play in ensuring their child’s academic success. We firmly believe our efforts to engage parents as partners reap big rewards in terms of higher levels of student achievement.

From day one, Brooklyn Dreams Charter School’s students are taught that putting forth their best effort is vital to their academic success. Our teachers strive to consistently reinforce with students the importance of individual responsibility for their education and personal accountability for their actions. Children thrive in an environment where they clearly understand what is expected of them and that they take pride in seeing the results that come from putting forth their best effort.
