LAUNCH EXPEDITIONARY LEARNING CHARTER SCHOOL

LAUNCH EXPEDITIONARY LEARNING CHARTER SCHOOL is a Title I public charter middle school that is part of the LAUNCH EXPEDITIONARY LEARNING CHARTER SCHOOL school district, located in BROOKLYN, NY with about 310 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th 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 33 teachers, LAUNCH EXPEDITIONARY LEARNING CHARTER SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. 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.

LAUNCH EXPEDITIONARY LEARNING CHARTER SCHOOL (LAUNCH) is a tuition-free public charter school located in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Serving students in grades 6 through 8, the school is built on the EL Education model, which emphasizes rigorous academic standards combined with character development and a focus on high-quality student work. The school aims to prepare middle school students for success in competitive high schools and beyond by fostering a culture of curiosity, critical thinking, and civic engagement.

The school’s curriculum is centered around "expeditions"—long-term, in-depth studies of specific topics that connect classroom learning to the real world. By integrating fieldwork, expert interviews, and project-based assessments, LAUNCH encourages students to take ownership of their education. The school promotes a supportive community environment where staff focus not only on mastery of subject matter but also on developing the social-emotional skills necessary for students to become productive, responsible members of their local and global communities.
