At a Glance
A tiny Church of Christ parochial school where every child is known by name
Families who prioritize a small, intimate school community over athletic facilities or extensive programming. This works well for families who value knowing every other family in the school, want a values-aligned education without heavy religious emphasis, and appreciate the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood setting. Best fit for early elementary students whose parents want genuine personal attention — the 7:1 ratio means teachers can adapt to individual learning styles in a way larger schools simply cannot match.
- 7:1 student-teacher ratio — exceptional personal attention
- Total enrollment of 123 students creates a true village atmosphere
- Pre-K through 5th grade under one roof — younger and older kids interact
- Church of Christ affiliation provides values-based foundation without being overtly devotional
- Brooklyn Heights location in a high-family-density neighborhood
- Small size means limited extracurricular options compared to larger private schools
- No middle school — families need a plan for 6th grade transition
- Tuition not disclosed — parochial schools are typically more affordable than elite privates but require direct inquiry
- Low Asian representation (3.3%) may matter to families prioritizing demographic diversity
- Religious affiliation may not appeal to secular families
A Church of Christ parochial elementary school with 123 students across Pre-K through 5th grade. This is a tiny, tightly-knit community where the small scale is the defining feature — not just a nice-to-have.
The parent community is engaged and local — families tend to live in Brooklyn Heights or nearby neighborhoods, creating a true neighborhood school feel. With only about 20-25 kids per grade, parents quickly know other families.
Brooklyn Heights is one of Brooklyn's most established and prestigious neighborhoods — tree-lined streets, historic brownstones, and a family-friendly atmosphere with excellent access to Manhattan. The area has a high family density (88/100), meaning you're surrounded by other families with school-age children.
Highly walkable neighborhood with easy access to the 2/3/4/5 trains at Borough Hall and the R at Court Street.
