Mission
William Rainey Harper is the Old Brooklyn
community’s newest elementary school.
Opened in 2018, we currently have
two classrooms for each grade, from
preschool to grade 4. We will grow one
additional grade each year so students
grow with their new school to a target
enrollment of about 470 students.
We are an International Baccalaureate
(IB) candidate school. Our staff will
ensure that your child will learn to
explore, investigate, research, study and
pursue curiosity in a safe and nurturing
environment.
Special Programs
Our inquiry-based model of learning for students:
• Empowers student voices.
• Increases motivation and enjoyment.
• Fosters curiosity and a love of learning.
• Encourages students to take ownership of their learning to reach their goals.
We offer four content classes: English language arts, math, science, and social
studies. We also offer four encore classes: art, library, music, physical education,
and Spanish.
Extracurriculars include Cub Scouts and Brownie Girl Scout programs.
