About this school

Public choice option that is not guaranteed by address and generally depends on district choice or broader application rules.

We believe students learn best when they are happy and safe. To cultivate our community where students are happy and safe, we create a nurturing, student-centered environment where all students are encouraged to take academic and personal risks inside and outside the classroom, and engage positively as members of the school community. BEES strives to develop students as inquiring, life-long learners with deep critical thinking skills that prepare them for the Next Generation Standards and assessments and success in high school, college and careers. All BEES students have an opportunity to attend over 50 school trips, including 6 overnight trips and college tours during their tenure at BEES. We offer a robust and well rounded extra curricular program rich in sports both developmental and competitive, arts both visual and performing, debate, student government, and much more. There is so much to BEE at BEES. Check us out online, Facebook, Instagram and brooklynbees.org
