About Us
Williamsburg Charter High School (WCHS) is a distinguished public charter high school in Brooklyn, New York, founded in August 2004 as the first Chancellor-authorized charter high school in the city. Initially serving 267 students in the ninth grade, WCHS has expanded to accommodate approximately 963 students across grades nine through twelve. Our mission is to empower youth, families, staff, and the community by equipping young individuals with essential tools to navigate the world, fostering their development as skilled professionals and informed citizens. Students engage in a rigorous liberal arts education encompassing language, literature, science, history, mathematics, and the arts, while cultivating values of fairness, justice, and respect.
We pride ourselves on delivering a tailored academic program for the high-school population of North Brooklyn, ensuring that our offerings are personalized to meet the unique developmental needs of each student, including English Language Learners and those requiring Special Education Services. Our school prioritizes supportive relationships between faculty and students, extended instructional periods, and additional academic support opportunities after school and on weekends. We also provide social and emotional support to address non-academic needs. Admission to WCHS is conducted through a random lottery system, with no minimum requirements, tests, or auditions, and tuition is free as a public charter school.
