From one great Ascend facility to anothe

Students attending East Brooklyn Ascend Lower School, one of Ascend’s newest schools, will attend school at the beautiful Cypress Hills Ascend Lower School, which enrolls grades K-3. In school year 2021, East Brooklyn Ascend students will move a short distance away to East Brooklyn Ascend Lower School’s permanent facility at 260 Shepherd Avenue.

This new campus offers a spacious cafeteria, large gymnasium, sun-filled classrooms, and outdoor play space, is in close proximity to public transit options, and is easily accessible to many Brooklyn neighborhoods.
