About New Dawn Charter Schools

All students must be given a chance to complete high school, and this includes students who may be struggling with traditional schools. The New Dawn Charter Schools are New York City Transfer Schools, reaching out to students who have either dropped out or are in school truants-those who will not graduate with their four-year 9th grade peers.

New Dawn enrolls students who are over-aged and under-credited in grades 9 through 12 and includes an intensive program for those students who are the most at-risk and difficult to engage in their education: the student who is over 16 years old and has fewer than 11 credits.

Students who fulfill all academic and internship requirements will graduate with a New York State Education diploma. As a transfer school, New Dawn will be no student’s first high school, except the over-aged 8th graders who opt for our intensive program. We anticipate a very large proportion of students with disabilities and a smaller proportion of English Language Learners. At least 82% of the students will are eligible for free/reduced lunch. Throughout the course work that is completed at New Dawn Charter School students will have access to internship and vocational training, one-on-one and group college and career counseling, a mentor based team of educational professionals and leaders who have implemented a rigorous and holistic instructional approach for all students.

We have two locations:

242 Hoyt Street, Brooklyn NY, 11217

89-25 161st Street, Jamaica, NY 11432

We’re now hiring special education teachers for the 2023-24 school year, for placement in ninth to twelfth grade. Our special education teachers work within Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) classroom settings.
