Our historic building sits on a beautiful green campus that occupies a whole city block.

    The majority of our diverse student population comes from the surrounding communities of Bushwick, Bedford-Stuyvesant, East Williamsburg and Ridgewood. At Bushwick Leaders High School, we believe every student is an asset who brings a tremendous amount of value to the academic experience.
