Who We Are

Our Story

LEEP Dual Language Academy Charter School is a tuition-free, public charter school in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, serving Brooklyn’s Community School District 15 and beyond. Our school opened in the 2019-20 school year and serves kindergarten through 5th grade. LEEP Academy is authorized by the New York State Board of Regents.

Our Mission & Core Virtues

At LEEP Dual Language Academy, students develop academic fluency in the English and Spanish languages, meet New York standards in all academic subjects, and develop the cultural understanding and virtuous habits necessary to thrive as learners, workers, family members, and participants in civil society. We learn and practice five core virtues:

  • Cariño/Love
  • Respeto/Respect
  • Valentía/Courage
  • Gratitud/Gratitude
  • Alegría/Joy

Our Vision

LEEP scholars are biliterate, bicultural, and bilingual critical thinkers who achieve skills in English and Spanish with an emphasis on language and academic rigor. We promote a culturally responsive approach that develops the whole child.
