Nourishing Academic Excellence in New York

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 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.
