IN THEIR OWN WORDS
The Green School emphasizes the importance of understanding the world as a system in which everything is connected. 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. Upper level students will have internships in fields of interest that relate to environmental and community renewal. Green School students also participate in a strong advisory program that promotes positive relationships, personal growth and the exploration of student interests. Students receive career guidance and assistance with college applications.
