The Brooklyn Charter School is proud to be an Official Charity Partner of the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon!

BCS has five marathon slots to raise $17,500 in support of the very first elementary school to receive its charter by the New York City Department of Education in 2000. The Brooklyn Charter School believes that every child has the ability to learn and therefore deserves the best opportunities to excel in school and in life. Our secret weapon to fostering a safe and positive culture is building confidence as a foundation for committed effort and learning. When children operate in environments infused with positivity and accountability, intrinsic motivation becomes the norm. Simply stated, Brooklyn Charter is the school that our students and families call home.
