Beginning with Children (BwC) is a Brooklyn based school management organization founded by school reform leaders Joe and Carol Reich over 30 years ago on a deep belief in the power of education. BwC supports two New York City Public Charter Schools and an alumni and college success program that provides education and academic support for students from Pre-K to college.
Our schools, Beginning with Children Charter School 2, Community Partnership Charter School and Community High School are in Bedford Stuyvesant, Clinton Hill, Williamsburg and downtown Brooklyn. Our students’ hard-working families face high rates of low-wage employment with more than 90 percent qualifying for a free/reduced lunch and many finding it increasingly difficult to break the cycle of poverty. At BwC we know that academic success and college completion have proven to be the most effective way to promote social and economic mobility. We are committed to creating strong centers of learning that transform the lives of students and families and revitalize communities.
Beginning with Children continues to post-secondary and college success through its alumni program, the Legacy Network. The success of BwC Scholars is the product of caring, committed and talented educators who work collaboratively with families to meet the needs of our students. As we continue to develop our Professional Learning Community we invite talented and innovative educators to join us in our mission to provide quality instruction to every child in every classroom.
