The Academy for Environmental Leadership (AEL) is a small innovative learning community serving grades 9-12 with an interdisciplinary approach to learning focused on science, mathematics, and technology to develop the capacity of students to become environmental leaders. Our school will be a personalized community where each student's language, prior knowledge, and heritage are valued. AEL teaches students an awareness of the interrelationship between the environment and the community; furthermore, our students will achieve the level of expertise necessary to identify, assess and address environmental concerns.
Our focus on environmental leadership is supported by our lead partner, Brooklyn Center of the Urban Environment. We believe that our collaboration and approach will give our students the tools and motivation necessary to graduate, go on to college and seek meaningful careers. Our community will embody teaching and learning that will lead to environmental leadership.
