Working at Brooklyn Lab is unlike working in a traditional school environment. Our educators know the individual strengths and areas for growth of each of their scholars. By design, our schools are small communities where every scholar is seen, known, and heard. Our faculty understands the value of collaboration. They share best practices across teams and content, engage in weekly professional development, receive individualized feedback from passionate coaches, and work as a team to provide their scholars with a high-quality education. We invite you to be part of a transformation in education and to inspire a diverse group of scholars with a lifelong love of learning. We are an unapologetically college preparation program, and we know that exceptional results require exceptional preparation. To that end, we have an extended school year and school day, from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm, to ensure our scholars grow at exceptional levels.
