Student & Family Handbook
Brooklyn Prospect High School is one of NYC's leading IB World Schools.
Students enrolled in International Baccalaureate (IB) World Schools engage in a challenging and diverse learning experience and tend to outperform students in more traditional school settings.
"The IB [world school program] enables students to direct their own learning pathway and develop the skills and confidence they need to thrive and make a lasting difference." - International Baccalaureate Organization
Transformative Educational Experience
We are proud to offer our high schoolers a transformative educational experience that prepares them for success in a rapidly evolving world. One of the primary benefits of the IB program is its rigorous academic curriculum, which encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and independent research. By engaging in a broad and balanced range of subjects, students develop a deep understanding of various disciplines, fostering intellectual curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. The program's emphasis on inquiry-based learning helps students become adept at analyzing complex issues, making connections between different areas of knowledge, and applying their understanding to real-world situations.
A focus on well-rounded students
Another significant advantage of the IB program is its focus on developing well-rounded individuals. The program promotes the development of key personal attributes such as open-mindedness, empathy, and intercultural understanding through its core components, including the Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) requirement. Students are encouraged to engage in creative pursuits, physical activities, and community service projects, which not only enhance their personal growth but also instill a sense of social responsibility. This holistic approach to education ensures that students are not only academically proficient but also compassionate, active members of their communities.
Global recognition sets students up for success
The IB program's global recognition provides students at Brooklyn Prospect High School with a competitive edge in higher education and career opportunities. The IB diploma is highly respected by universities worldwide, often leading to advanced placement or college credits for graduates. This recognition, combined with the program's focus on developing strong research, writing, and communication skills, equips students with the tools they need to succeed in higher education and beyond. Additionally, the international perspective fostered by the IB program prepares students to thrive in diverse, multicultural environments, making them attractive candidates in an increasingly interconnected world.
