My personal message:

Explore Charter School is a public charter school located in Flatbush in Brooklyn, NY. Our mission, based on the critical need in New York City for more outstanding public schools, is to provide our students with the academic and critical-thinking skills they need to succeed in a college preparatory high school.

One of our goals is to expose our students to the world outside of the classroom. Many of our students have never traveled beyond the NY metro area. Many have never had the chance to experience the cultural opportunities our city and country has to offer or developed relationships with people of different ethnic backgrounds. One way we give our students these crucial opportunities and experiences is through an after school club called “Our World," and through grade level year-end trips.

We have traveled to Mexico and Costa Rica in past years.  This year we will be taking 15 5th-8th grade students on an educational trip to Costa Rica in May 2009.

Ways to help:

Thank you to those of you who have already contributed.  Here are some of the events we have planned.

--Brooklyn Half Marathon-- you may sponser a runner on this page for the race on May 30th.  Come cheer us on!  (Or run with us!)

--Fundraising Event-- April 4th-- Details TBD

If you are sponsoring a runner *** Please note the staff member's name in your comments!!
