We are located in the middle of one of Brooklyn's most diverse neighborhoods, Crown Heights.
Swarming with interesting dives, boutiques, eclectic finds and people, it is the ideal neighborhood for our school, as our student and staff populations reflect the community as it progresses.
The development of this community has yielded some of the most outstanding results in the improvement of safety, cleanliness and togetherness throughout New York City.
Crown Heights, once again, is truly the 'Jewel of Brooklyn', shining brighter and brighter as its community members flourish.
Our school campus is the public school building I.S. 390, Maggie L. Walker School. This building is a well known staple within the community, named after Maggie L. Walker, a teacher, strong community leader, humanitarian and prominent businesswoman from Richmond, Virginia. Maggie L. Walker's commitment to the upliftment of her community and the education of its people stands as the firm foundation of our school's principles. We exist to serve our community and educate our children.
Our classrooms all have SMART boards, complemented by state-of-the-art technology and science labs, a mobile science lab and laptop carts in all classrooms and modules. Our dedicated staff caters to each student to maximize his or her fullest potential. To achieve this end, the staff will be fully engaged:
- in professional development activities to enable each student to reach goals of high academic achievement.
- in staff team building that pools collective talents.
- in a collaboration that promotes best practices in teaching and learning.
Recognizing the importance of meaningful two-way communication, parents are kept abreast of what is happening in the school via auto-dials, weekly email updates, text messages, a monthly newsletter and our school website.
