New Charter School in the Works for Cobble/Boerum Area

Former Councilwoman Eva Moskowitz’s Success Charter Network plans to open a new school called Success Academy Cobble Hill next year, according to Schoolbook. The location of the school has yet to be determined, but it will share space with other public schools. Two possibilities mentioned in the article are the buildings that house the Math and Science Exploratory School, at 345 Dean Street (pictured above), and the Brooklyn School for Global Studies, at 284 Baltic Street; both buildings have room for more than 600 additional students. The school will eventually run from kindergarten through 8th grade. Moskowitz says she expects the school to be controversial with some: “There’s a deep anticharter sentiment out there, and I’m sure there will be opposition coming from that corner.” Update: Success Charter Network sent out a press release today saying another charter would also be opened in Williamsburg. The websites for the schools will launch on October 17th and have applications on them: Success Academy Cobble Hill and Success Academy Williamsburg.
