Northside Charter High School

Northside Charter High School is a small, public charter school located in the North Williamsburg/Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. We are a college preparatory high school with a mission to prepare students for college.

Through our unique approach to instruction, we provide scholars in grades 9–12 with an education that results in mastery of the New York State Learning Standards, on-time high school graduation, and readiness to take college courses in high school.

The journey we envision for students is to prepare for, go to, and complete the right-fit college or university of their choice.
