IN THEIR OWN WORDS
The Academy for Environmental Leadership (AEL) is a small learning community that develops skills through an approach to learning focused on science, mathematics and technology to develop the capacity of students to become environmental leaders. Through community involvement and real world learning, students learn how to have a positive impact on the world around them. Our classes focus on challenging curricula based on critical thinking skills. Supported by the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment, classes regularly use parks, neighborhoods and museums for hands-on learning and environmental research. We believe that it is imperative to engage and embrace all students' families to ensure academic success. We prepare all students for Regents diplomas, college study and careers.
