Collegiate Charter Schools has grown to include four college preparatory middle schools in Brooklyn, NY as well as Uncommon’s first high school in New York City. The mission of Collegiate Charter Schools is to prepare each student for college.
Collegiate opened its first school, Williamsburg Collegiate Charter School, in summer 2005. Williamsburg Collegiate is led by Principal Julie Kennedy and Michael D'Auria, the school’s Director of Operations. Based on the New York City Department of Education’s 2008 Progress Reports, Williamsburg Collegiate is one of the ten highest-ranked middle schools in the city. The school has posted outstanding results on the New York State ELA and Math exams.
Kings Collegiate Charter School, the network's second school, opened in the East Flatbush/Brownsville area of Brooklyn in summer 2007. Kings Collegiate is led by Principal Lauren Harris and Director of Operations, Christie Chow. The school posted very strong results on the 2009 New York State exams.
Bedford Stuyvesant Collegiate Charter School, the network’s third school, was launched in summer 2008. Like all Collegiate middle schools, the school will grow to enroll approximately 275 students in grades 5 through 8, before students enroll in Uncommon’s new high school. Bedford Stuyvesant Collegiate is led by Co-Directors Mabel Lajes-Guiteras and Melissa D’Agostino.
The fourth Collegiate middle school, Brownsville Collegiate Charter School, opened in August 2009 serving 5th and 6th grade students. The school is led by Founding Principal Jessica Simmons and Founding Director of Operations Jeannemarie Hendershot Kim. Like its fellow Collegiate schools, Brownsville Collegiate offers a rigorous academic program, individualized attention, a longer school day and school year, and a highly structured academic environment.
Uncommon Charter High School also opened August 2009 with an initial class of 9th graders and will grow to serve students in grades 9 through 12. Maya Roth, Founding Co-Director of Curriculum and Instruction, and Minnie Setty, Founding Co-Director of Operations, jointly lead the school.
Brooklyn East Collegiate Charter School will open in August 2010 serving 5th grade students. The school will be led by Principal Eric Green and Director of Operations Kate Cushing.
Ocean Hill Collegiate Charter School will also open in August 2010 and serve 5th grade students. It will be led by Hannah Solomon as Principal and Hanna Campbell as Director of Operations.
Laura Lee McGovern serves as the Chief Operating Officer for the Collegiate schools. Ms. Lee previously served as the Founding Co-Director of Operations at Kings Collegiate Charter School.
This network is managed by Brett Peiser, the founder and former principal and executive director of Boston Collegiate Charter School. Under the leadership of Mr. Peiser, Boston Collegiate established a track record as one of the highest-performing schools in Massachusetts. To establish additional schools based largely on this model, Mr. Peiser serves as the Managing Director of Collegiate Charter Schools.
