URBAN DOVE TEAM CHARTER SCHOOL

URBAN DOVE TEAM CHARTER SCHOOL is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the URBAN DOVE TEAM CHARTER SCHOOL school district, located in BROOKLYN, NY with about 247 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 22 teachers, URBAN DOVE TEAM CHARTER SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

URBAN DOVE TEAM CHARTER SCHOOL (UDTCS), located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, is a unique educational model specifically designed to serve "over-age and under-credited" students. The school focuses on re-engaging youth who have struggled in traditional academic settings, often due to significant gaps in their credit accumulation or personal challenges. By providing a personalized, supportive environment, the school aims to help students who have fallen behind reach graduation and prepare for post-secondary success.

A hallmark of the Urban Dove model is its "Sports-Based Youth Development" curriculum. Unlike conventional schools, UDTCS integrates sports and physical activity directly into the academic day. Through a team-based structure, students participate in daily coaching, athletic activities, and leadership development programs. This approach is designed to foster a sense of community, build self-discipline, and improve social-emotional skills, creating a cohesive "team" environment that encourages students to stay motivated and committed to their education until they earn their high school diplomas.
