Schoolfest 2017 is one-of-a-kind school fair for North Brooklyn families. Parents and students are invited to meet all types of schools and enrichment services. So far, +60 schools (day care through high school) and another +30 enrichment/resource providers are joining us.
Did you know that there's a new local German dual language program? In a public elementary school? How about French, Japanese, Mandarin, Polish, Spanish? Did you know that there's a national chess championship team at a local public middle school? And they're now a Brooklyn-wide gifted program? How about amazing art, music and STEM schools?
You can also check out free workshops presented by well known
Joyce Szuflita of New York School Help on the bewildering array of public NYC schools and equally perplexing admission processes.
Are you excited and nervous? Maybe a little overwhelmed? Schoolfest is here for you.
And please stay in touch to get frequent updates,!
