YOUNG WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP SCHOOL OF BROOKLYN

The Young Women’s Leadership School of Brooklyn (TWLS of Brooklyn) is a tuition-free, all-girls public secondary school serving students in grades 6 through 12. Part of a network of schools dedicated to empowering young women, the institution is grounded in the belief that a single-sex environment fosters academic excellence, leadership development, and personal confidence. The school emphasizes a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum, aiming to close the achievement gap and ensure that its students—many of whom come from historically underserved communities—are prepared to succeed in competitive universities and future careers.

Beyond its academic focus, the school places a strong emphasis on community service, social-emotional learning, and the cultivation of a "leadership identity." By providing a supportive and collaborative environment, TWLS of Brooklyn encourages students to find their voices, take risks, and become advocates for themselves and their peers. Through partnerships with community organizations and a focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), the school strives to equip its students with the critical thinking skills and global perspectives necessary to lead in an increasingly complex world.
