At a Glance
A small Christian elementary school weaving faith, academics, and the arts into a tight-knit community.
Best suited for
Christian families — particularly those prioritizing faith integration, personal attention, and a small community — who want their elementary-age children in a nurturing, structured setting and can manage the commute.
What stands out
- Exceptionally small enrollment of 57 students means every child is known by name and teachers can tailor attention closely.
- An integrated curriculum weaves arts, science, and technology into Christian education rather than treating them as separate tracks.
- A 9.5:1 student-teacher ratio is well below what most schools, public or private, can offer.
- A flat $10,000 tuition keeps the cost structure simple and predictable for families.
- Rolling admissions mean families can apply year-round rather than racing a single deadline.
Things to consider
- The student body is 100% Black — families seeking a racially diverse peer environment should weigh this carefully.
- A 57-student enrollment means very small grade-level cohorts and limited extracurricular breadth compared to larger schools.
- Both nearest subway stations are 18–20 minutes on foot, which is a real commute consideration for families without a car.
- Public review data is thin, with a modest rating of 5.5/10 and only one detailed alumni testimonial available.
- While $10,000 is reasonable by New York private-school standards, it is still a meaningful annual cost, and financial aid details aren't specified in available data.
Identity
An Assembly of God elementary school serving pre-K through fifth grade, Battalion Christian Academy blends faith-based instruction with academic rigor. Its stated approach integrates arts, science, and technology with Christian education to develop "responsible, critical thinkers." The school is coed and built around a safe, nurturing environment.
Community
Enrollment is 100% Black, reflecting a demographically focused rather than diverse community. With only 57 students total and a 9.5:1 student-teacher ratio, every child is well-known by staff — this is a setting where teachers can keep close tabs on each student.
Neighborhood
East Flatbush-Rugby is a middle-income Brooklyn neighborhood where the median household income sits around $71,298, with about a quarter of adults holding a bachelor's degree and a poverty rate near 13%. It's a residential area that supports a working- and middle-class mix of families. Getting to school requires some planning — both nearby subway stops are a substantial walk.
The nearest subways are Sutter Av-Rutland Rd on the 3 line and Church Av on the 2 and 5 lines, but both are roughly an 18-to-20-minute walk from the school, so a car, school bus, or rideshare will likely factor into daily logistics.
