The Academy for Young Writers opened in the Fall of 2006 and graduated its first class in June of 2010. We're located in Spring Creek, Brookyln. We are a part of a small schools movement that began in the late 1980's and early 1990's in New York City. Our primary goal is create a college preparatory program for our students so that they have as many options after graduating as possible. To this end, we use writing across all areas of our curriculum as a tool for generating comprehension and retaining knowledge. While we do celebrate creative writing, our name derives from the belief that all forms of writing help a person to become better educated and more expressive. We have a wide array of after school activities ranging including basketball, chess club, karaoke, literary magazines, and poets' cafe
