About Our School
Where every child discovers their spark.
Founded in 2005, MS 582 is a Brooklyn magnet middle school serving grades 6–8. Our signature Inquiry & Design program empowers students to ask bold questions, prototype solutions, and present their work to real audiences—from hydroponic gardens to championship debate teams.
We believe middle school should be a time of joyful discovery, where students feel seen, challenged, and prepared for high school and beyond. As a Community School partnered with Grand Street Settlement, we offer after-school programs five days a week, 12 sports teams, and a vibrant maker space where creativity meets critical thinking.
