Overview
Who We Are
We are a transformational learning community committed to educational excellence and equity. Students engage in authentic, real world experiences that allow them to delve more deeply into concepts to connect their learning with self and society. We educate the whole child and make it a part of our mission to make their experience as personalized as possible.
Our Mission Statement
Excellence can be hard to define. At Brooklyn X, we articulate how excellence can look for each student, and continually work to help our learners define what excellence looks like for themselves. Brooklyn X holds high expectations for students, staff, and parents – and we communicate those messages regularly to our community.
Our students are learners and are expected to have:
- Every student can reach Base 85! We push our students to strive for, and to celebrate, earning an 85 in coursework, course grades, and Regents examinations.
- Every student is expected to take 4 years of science and math. This exceeds NYC Graduation Requirements and is intended to help every student be better prepared and college-ready for graduation.
- Every student participates in STEAM elective courses that help to develop problem-solving and 21st-century skills, which support their learning in core academic subjects.
- Every student has access to Advanced Placement courses, Brooklyn College TRIO partnerships, College Now classes, SAT Prep, and many other opportunities to be competitive in college application.
- Every student is held to high academic standards, and are provided with the support they need in order to do more than they might have expected.

College & Career Guidance (CodeL32A)
Through our AVID courses and advisory program we provide all students with the opportunity to prepare for life after high school. Whether that be in a trade program, city job, military life or college we are constantly helping our scholars plan and be introduced to the fields of their interest. We also provide our students with paid and unpaid internship opportunities and the chance to take college level courses aligned with their career goals. Each grade level takes multiple college trips a year and we host a variety of different career days at our campus.
AP for All
Research shows that students who take Advance Placement courses and exams are more likely to graduate college on time; the gains are greatest for low-income students and students of color. The AP for All initiative, part of New York City’s Equity and Excellence agenda, will brings new AP courses to our school. Our school receives rigorous training for new and continuing AP teachers. The city also helps our school leaders identify students who are ready for AP course work and prepare those students to address equity gaps.
STEAM
Our community is committed to educational equity and excellence. We provide students of all backgrounds and experiences the chance to experience rigorous, challenging curricula, along with community support to excel in their lives beyond high school. Our Science, Technology, Engineering Arts and Mathematics program utilizes a S.T.E.A.M. approach to facilitate learning experiences driven by problem solving, discovery, and exploratory learning. S.T.E.A.M. is present in all subjects and allows students to connect what they learn with what they see around them, and who they are. S.T.E.A.M. learning promotes student readiness for college, prepares them for a 21st century workforce, and provides opportunities for critical and design thinking.
College Now
TRiO & College Now at Brooklyn College is another one of our opportunities for students to take college level course work while still in high school. this program offers SAT Prep, Regents Prep, Tutoring, a Staff personal that comes once a week to assist students on campus and the college going experience at Brooklyn College. Students also take courses at LIU through their Early College Scholars Program as early as their sophomore year.
