An intimate all-girls middle school where every student is known by name
Families seeking an extremely intimate, all-girls learning environment where their daughter will be known individually by every teacher. Works well for parents who prioritize personalized attention over scale, and who are comfortable with a demographically homogeneous peer group. Particularly suited for girls who may struggle in larger settings and for families whose values align with the Church of God in Christ religious tradition.
- Extraordinarily low 3.2:1 student-teacher ratio — this is boutique-level personalization
- All-girls environment specifically designed for middle school females
- Complete enrollment of just 35 students creates a family-like scale
- Religious affiliation with Church of God in Christ provides spiritual dimension
- The 100% white student body means limited exposure to racial and cultural diversity — this is something to think about if exposure to diverse peers is important to you
- The school is tiny — if your daughter thrives in larger social environments with more extracurricular options, this scale may feel too small
- With only three grades (6-8) and 35 total students, the social universe is very limited
- Tuition data isn't available but small private schools in Brooklyn typically run $15,000-$30,000+ annually
- The religious affiliation may or may not align with your family's spirituality — worth clarifying what actual religious programming looks like
A tiny all-girls private middle school with a Church of God in Christ affiliation, offering an intimate 3.2:1 student-teacher ratio across grades 6-8.
The student body is entirely white (100%), with zero racial diversity recorded. With only 35 total students across three grades, this is an extremely tight-knit — and demographically homogeneous — community.
Bensonhurst is a densely populated residential neighborhood in southwestern Brooklyn, known for its mix of single-family homes, apartment buildings, and a strong Italian-American heritage.

Bensonhurst is generally walkable with good subway access, though it feels more car-oriented than Manhattan or neighborhoods closer to the waterfront. The area around 17th Avenue has good local amenities.
