The Math & Science Exploratory School

Our school community offers students a rigorous and engaging academic program. Supported by dedicated teaching staff, administration, and PTA, students are provided with opportunities to engage in hands-on, inquiry-based curriculum while constructing knowledge within a meaningful context. Our Exploration Program is an outgrowth of our school's philosophy: middle school students are social individuals and benefit from learning through cooperative groups. The Exploration experience provides students with the opportunity to explore city-wide educational institutions. We understand that the middle school experience is truly unique and we offer a safe and fun place to be a kid. Our advisory program supports students' academic, social, and emotional learning. Our after-school program allows students and teachers to learn new skills and share common interests. We have earned a Blackboard Award for Outstanding School in Brooklyn and a "Well Developed" designation from the Quality Review Score. Our admissions policies reflect our commitment to diversity.

P.S. 66

Our school has established the following goals: increase the number of students who are proficient in ELA and Math, organize classes to reflect the diverse needs of the student body including the Scholars Program, engage in parent orientations at the start of each school year in addition to family engagement opportunities every Tuesday to foster parent relationships, and offer a Specialized High School preparation program. To achieve these goals, we cultivate a safe social-emotional learning environment through the implementation of Restorative Practices. Students enjoy Restorative Circles weekly with their peers. An abundance of after-school opportunities are conducted through a partnership with SASF, Monday through Friday. The Student Council has branded our school as the Blue Jays and our proud basketball and cheerleader teams confidently sport that symbol on their uniforms! The 66 Rock Band and the Middle School Urban/Architect artists work in tandem to keep the arts an integral part of the school experience. Finally, 2017 marks the first year that our school will administer the Living Environment Regents.

The Science And Medicine Middle School 366

The Science and Medicine Middle School (SMMS) uses health and medicine as a lens through which students learn core academic subjects, including mathematics, science, social studies, and English language arts. SMMS equips young people with the knowledge and skills to manage their own health and well-being, advocate for community members, and pursue post-high school education preparing them for careers related to health and wellness. We believe that students can, and should, shape their health, education, professional futures, and communities. To that end, SMMS uses a student-centered approach to learning which highlights student voice and engagement as priorities throughout our school. Through our partnerships with universities, hospitals, and other medical facilities, we enable our students to travel on their life's path to high school, post-secondary education, and careers.

Middle School for Art and Philosophy

Students at the Middle School for Art and Philosophy (MSAP) engage in a variety of units of instruction throughout the year. Our instruction is concept-based, interdisciplinary, and Common Core-aligned. The infusion of visual arts and applied philosophy courses makes our program unique. Our 21st Century Community Learning Center after-school partnership provides access to the arts through mural painting and a jazz band. We have continued our chorus through a partnership with the Brooklyn Arts Council. Our Elders Share the Arts Program connects students with elders in the community. MSAP students have been invited to perform at The Brooklyn Arts Council's annual fundraiser, the Urban Arts showcase, and a number of other venues. What students like most is that their teachers provide a nurturing environment though a small school structure that holds them accountable for their work and their actions through continuous support and opportunities for improvement.

Middle School of Marketing and Legal Studies

Students at the Middle School of Marketing and Legal Studies (MLS) are immersed in basic marketing and legal studies coursework that compliments the station based, student centered learning that is aligned with the Common Core standards. Additionally, MLS is the only school in District 18 that offers intense preparation for three out of the five high school Regents exams (Algebra, Living Environment & US History) that students will take at the end of their eighth grade year. Through engagement in events such as our annual college tour or career day, students are exposed to a multitude of opportunities to explore their interests and create college- and career-driven goals. Our community partners provide direct support in navigating the high school application process and helping students gain acceptance into the best-fit schools for themselves. MLS proudly supports the other enrichment activities essential to our student's middle school experience through our monthly spirit days, annual Broadway Jr. productions, and our track program that produces some of the top middle school athletes in the nation.

Brooklyn Science and Engineering Academy

At the Brooklyn Science and Engineering Academy, we believe that early exposure to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) will support students' overall academic growth, develop their critical-thinking and reasoning skills, and enhance their interest in STEM study and careers. We engage young learners by having them assume the roles of scientists, authors, researchers, engineers, and mathematicians–thus preparing them to compete and succeed in high school, college, and beyond. Hands-on, real-life learning projects will guide instruction and engage our students. Through our partnership with St. John's University, students will have access to STEM-based resources and receive an early college experience. To facilitate the transition from elementary to middle school, we provide a daily advisory class that is grounded in mindfulness, positive behaviors, and goal-setting.

Students enjoy the availability of interesting classes and after-school activities. There is an enrichment program to fit each student’s needs.

MELS - Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School

We follow the EL Education (eleducation.org) model, in which students engage in learning expeditions and have multiple opportunities for hands-on learning. Students participate in fieldwork experiences with experts in a variety of fields (activists, authors, scientists, doctors, etc.) that take them outside of the classroom and give them a chance to experience the concepts they are learning. Students receive a strong background in science, technology, and sustainability and have multiple opportunities after school to apply the ideas learned in class to real-world projects. Parents play a major role in the school, from attending student-led conferences to being chaperones and participants for fieldwork to contributing to various school committees. Students belong to crews, which are small advisory groups with an advisor. Students participate in a four-day wilderness/backpacking adventure.
