The Brooklyn Brownstone School was founded in 2008 by a group of local parents concerned about their children's education. The planning team of parents included as partners the Stuyvesant Heights Parents Association, The Brooklyn Children's Museum and Children for Children. Brooklyn Brownstone is a public school serving grades PK-5. The school's principal is Nakia Haskins.
Brooklyn Brownstone has a focus on service learning-- academic excellence with an eye towards community service. The school encourages looping, a method that allows teachers and students to spend three years together to foster tightly knit family units within the larger school community.
Brooklyn Brownstone occupies the fourth floor of a campus it shares with M.S. 35., located on the first, second and third floors.
La Cima is a public charter school that occupies the third floor of a large, four-story school building on the corner of Gates and Stuyvesant Avenues. The school shares the building with another charter school, BSS Charter, on the fourth floor and one middle school, M.S. 267, on the first and second floors.
The school opened in 2008 to 140 kindergarteners and first graders. In the 2010 school year, the school enrolled 273 students. La Cima Charter will continue to add a grade until it is fully enrolled as a K - 5 school in the 2012 school year.
The school does not screen its students. It gives geographic priority to students who live in the community school district and includes an application lottery.
