Nourishing Academic Excellence in New York

Equipping Students for Success

At Brooklyn Ascend High School (BAHS), students engage in academic courses centered on delving into rigorous content and honing their skills. AP courses in math, science, ELA and history offer students the opportunity to earn college credit. Employing an inquiry-based approach, students delve into new content by posing questions, crafting solutions and exploring innovative ideas. We champion experiential learning opportunities, and our academic program not only prepares students to earn a Regents diploma upon graduation, but also equips them with the skills to pursue their dreams and a life of their choosing.

A Strong Culture

Our high school focuses on developing responsible and empowered citizens in preparation for success in post-secondary life. We develop civic character — the knowledge, skills and virtues necessary for engaged and responsible citizenship within academic, local and global communities.

Brooklyn Ascend High School students can explore their interests and talents through courses such as art, Spanish, music, PE, dance and AP Computer Science. Outside of school, BAHS offers sports such as basketball, flag football, volleyball and cheer/dance, as well as several clubs that allow students to further explore and develop their extracurricular interests.
