BNOS CHOMESH ACADEMY

540 EAST NEW YORK AVENUE

At a Glance

A Tiny All-Girls Religious School With Nearly One-on-One Attention

Best suited for

Families seeking a small, religious all-girls high school environment where their daughter will receive near one-on-one academic attention. Best fits parents who prioritize intensive personal support over typical high school experiences like diverse peer groups, robust athletics, or wide extracurricular options — and who are comfortable with the neighborhood's safety considerations.

What stands out
  • Extremely small size — only 35 students total creates an intimate, family-like environment
  • Near one-on-one attention with a 1.4:1 student-teacher ratio
  • All-girls secondary education with Church of God in Christ affiliation
  • Strong transit access (81/100) makes commuting manageable
Things to consider
  • Very low neighborhood safety score (19/100) — this is a significant factor for parents of teenage girls
  • Zero diversity in the student body — 100% White
  • Very small enrollment may limit extracurricular offerings, sports teams, and typical high school social experiences
  • With only ~8-9 students per grade, the social circle is extremely limited
  • The tiny size means the school may feel more like a tutorial program than a traditional high school
IdentityThe Religious Affiliation With The Church Of God In Christ Informs The School'S Character And Values, Though Specific Programmatic Details About Spiritual Life Are Not Detailed In Available Data. The Single-Sex Environment Allows For A Focused, Tailored Approach To Girls' Education In Grades 9-12.

An all-girls private secondary school affiliated with the Church of God in Christ, BNOS CHOMESH ACADEMY is one of the smallest schools in New York City with just 35 students total. The ultra-low student-teacher ratio means extraordinary individual attention, but also means the school operates more like an intimate learning community than a typical high school.

CommunityHomogeneous

The student body is 100% White, making this one of the least diverse schools in New York City's private school landscape. With only 35 students across four grade levels, the community is extremely tight-knit — essentially a family-style environment where everyone knows each other.

NeighborhoodProspect Lefferts Gardens-Wingate

Prospect Lefferts Gardens-Wingate offers excellent transit access (81/100) making it easily reachable by subway, but the neighborhood has a notably low safety score of 19/100. The area has moderate family density (75/100), indicating a decent number of families with children in the neighborhood.

The neighborhood is highly transit-accessible, though parents should factor in the low safety score when evaluating the location for a teenage daughter. The area's walkability for a high schooler commuting independently may warrant discussion.
