About the Company

Williamsburg Charter High School (WCHS) is a high performing, public charter high school located in Brooklyn, New York.
WCHS opened in August 2004 as the first Chancellor-authorized charter high school in the City of New York.
WCHS has grown to serve approximately 963 students in grades nine through twelve.
The school’s mission is to unite youth, families, staff, teachers and the community at large in providing young people with the tools necessary to make sense of the world, and prepare them in their journey to become skilled workers and literate citizens of the world.
Young people will accomplish this through their participation in a rigorous and demanding liberal arts education that includes language, literature, writing, science, history, mathematics, the arts, technology, and exploration in disciplines designed to teach fairness, justice, respect and compassion for themselves and others, as well as the skills of critical thinking, communication and research.
Williamsburg Charter High School provides a broad liberal arts academic program to the high-school age youth of north Brooklyn.
School programs are individualized to connect to each student’s particular level of development, including English Language Learners and students with Special Education Services.
WCHS provides supportive relationships with faculty, extended instructional periods, and opportunities after-school and on Saturdays for additional academic support.
Social and emotional support is also available to students to ensure their non-academic needs are addressed.
Students are accepted to WCHS through a random lottery with no minimum requirements, tests, or auditions required to gain entrance and, as a public charter school, there is no tuition.
