Launch is a growing public charter school currently serving 6th-8th grade students from Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, and surrounding areas in Brooklyn. We believe that every child deserves a high-quality education and that every child should be prepared to succeed in college. At Launch, we believe that students learn best by doing. Working with our institutional partner, NYC Outward Bound Schools, Launch prepares students not only to succeed in the classroom, but to apply their knowledge in real-world settings. Launch students will never be asked to simply recite memorized information. Instead, students investigate relevant subject matter, work in the field alongside experts, and present what they have learned in order to demonstrate depth of understanding to their peers, teachers, and parents in various fields of study. This kind of real-world learning invests students in their communities, teaches them the values of leadership and service, and prepares them for success in school, college, citizenship and life. “This kind of innovative school…is an example of how all our schools should be.” —President Obama after visiting an Expeditionary Learning school in Washington D.C. Our Mission Launch students will develop the academic skills and strength of character necessary to thrive in college, contribute to their community, and excel in their careers. Our Vision Launch Expeditionary Learning Charter School was created to serve a singular purpose: to offer a world-class education to students and families living in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and surrounding communities – one that will provide Launch students access to the most competitive universities and careers, allowing them to lead fulfilling lives of choice and purpose. We focus on engaging and rigorous instruction and strong character. We support the growth of smart, good people.
