About Our School
Where justice starts in the classroom.
Founded in 2003, Brooklyn School for Social Justice serves grades 9–12 with a curriculum designed to empower students as critical thinkers and agents of change. Our signature social justice framework integrates rigorous academics with real-world activism, preparing graduates to lead with empathy and purpose.
We believe education must be rooted in community, where diverse voices are heard and every student is equipped to challenge inequity. From restorative justice practices to project-based learning, BSSJ fosters a culture of collaboration, creativity, and courage.
