About Achievement First East Brooklyn High School

Achievement First East Brooklyn High School is a public charter school located in Brooklyn, NY near the Cypress Hills and New Lots neighborhoods. Serving students in 9th through 12th grade, we are focused on ensuring 100% of students will be accepted into four-year colleges and universities.

How do we get there?

We combine challenging courses and high expectations and ensure that all students have access to the resources and support they need. Our support includes SAT prep, intensive college counseling, and tutoring. Our classes are designed to help students grow into leaders who engage in lessons, lead discussions, and exchange ideas. We want our students to be well rounded and grow in every way possible. We encourage students to grow as athletes, volunteers, leaders, and citizens of the world. We are proud of our school’s strong extracurricular programs and the support that our students receive beyond high school graduation. Our high school counselors will work closely with our alumni after our first senior class graduates in 2020. You can read more in our brochure  or our college profile.
