Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment, or BASE, is one of four public high schools in the Prospect Heights Educational Campus (formerly Prospect Heights High School). BASE was established in 2003: a partnership among the Prospect Park Alliance, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and environmentalist and journalist Ibrahim Abdul-Matin. Students participate in "field studies" at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, complementing classroom education about science, nature, and the environment.[1] [2]

Education

The school offers a variety of advanced placement courses, electives, enrichment and internship opportunities, as well as enrollment in college courses at Medgar Evers College through CUNY College Now. It shares resources, including a swimming pool, library, athletic teams, and school-based service providers, with the larger Prospect Heights Educational Campus. The typical schedule for a 9th grader is 8:35am – 3:22pm.[3]

Admissions

BASE is a limited unscreened school with priority given to Brooklyn students or residents who attend an information session. In 2016 it had approximately four applicants per seat.[4]
