What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, February 27, 2013

TBLS is a locus of antiquity where honor and integrity are of equal importance as academic achievement. Add the highly diverse, brilliant, focused, lively and humble United Nations like student body, over achieving faculty, highly regarded, committed, accessible and driven principal, "A" numero uno parent coordinator, a stringent classical curriculum, oodles of extra curriculars and you have landed in the one and only Brooklyn Latin School. My son is a sophomore and he is having the high school experience that every parent dreams of for their teen. Perfect is a tough form to carve from any object. Therefore I resolve that as NYC high schools go, this is as close as any institution can get. If you visit TBLS during any of the open houses, the moment you walk in and are greeted by one of these - I must say, very cool - students, mark my words your private thought will be along the lines of "ok, there is something very rare and unique going on here." You're not imagining it. This place IS special. My kid came into TBLS (it was his first choice) pretty darn smart and balanced and has elevated by leaps and bounds. It is an absolute pleasure to be both involved and along for the ride. Close Quote
