Brooklyn Urban Garden Charter School

my son gets bullied by a teacher

PS 295 is an absolute gem - small, inclusive in all senses, warm and vibrant community. My kid is currently in K and we've been blown away by the skill and dedication of his teachers, and amazed all all he has learned in a few short months. My kid is young for his year, and struggles with anxiety and some fine motor delays. This kid was only scribbling over the summer, he is writing words and drawing self portraits now.The way PS 295 has met him where he is, truly connected with him, and is nurturing his growth is beyond my expectations of any school.

I went here from kindergarten to 5th grade, I was on the track team, and got the most amazing grades thanks to my teachers. I would definitely recommend this school.

I cannot express how much I love this school and how grateful I am that my son attends PS 130. He's had some of the most wonderful teachers and the chess program is incredible and has propelled him into another universe for the better. He wouldn't have been exposed to chess through any other means and through that he's learned how to navigate loss, built confidence, and sharpened his strategic capabilities. The PS 130 community is amazing, diverse, and welcoming. My only critique is I sometimes feel there could be more homework or a tiny bit more focus on academics -- but I wouldn't send him anywhere else. He's getting a well-rounded education and is surrounded by tons of caring staff and feels supported. Test scores don't give the full picture. Thank you, PS 130!

My daughter 2nd year at this school and we are happy to say that she enjoys going to school and especially attending the afterschool program “Right at School” she is a 1st grader and I would like to thank you to the educators that care for her, thank you for doing an awesome job!

Our family joined International Christian school in 2021 and it has been a huge success with our kids academics and social emotional development. Everyone on staff is very attentive and professional. Classes are small which is a great environment for learning. Curriculum is rich and very engaging. Recently the school location was moved to Carroll Gardens and its such an amazing, well lit and spacious facility. There are several very good playgrounds in the area for afterschool unwind. One of our children is uncompromised so having spacious facility and small class size is very beneficial.

An involved principal, who is also a parent and an educator, coupled with caring teachers and small class sizes make St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Academy an ideal elementary and middle school choice. The teachers are all very accessible to parents as well. The school is in a neighborhood that is very safe and conveniently located across the street from the F/G train, and a short ride from Prospect Expressway for those who don't live in walking distance. I've been very happy to have my son at school here since 4th grade. He's now in 7th, and I'm just sad that St. Joseph the Worker doesn't have a high school.
