A middle school built to care

We are Brooklyn Independent

Founded in 2019, we are a nonprofit,  independently-funded middle school (6th-8th grade) that believes students should be cared for and educated as unique individuals so they thrive as confident learners.

 

We dare to serve kids differently.
