Brooklyn Amity School’s mission is to educate children through extensive teaching of science, math, and social arts. We believe in the teacher-student-parent triad, where we establish and maintain clear channels of communication between our teachers, parents, and students. Our parents are also deeply committed and involved in their children’s education.
Brooklyn Amity School offers students a progressive academic education, moral and ethical education, and a variety of extracurricular activities, including art, music and community service involvement. Our school provides a safe and caring environment for both academic and social growth. Our students come from many diverse backgrounds and cultures; we value this diversity as further enrichment of both the lives of ourselves and our children.
