What do our youngest community members deserve from us?

They deserve adults who appreciate and promote their development as naturally curious, engaged learners. We ensure every scholar has access to support staff, engaging advisory programming, and positive interventions that foster strong bonds and community spirit.

Equality is more than a school; we’re a close-knit family. Our dedicated scholars, teachers, and staff share a deep sense of unity. With stable leadership, we guarantee our students feel consistently cared for, supported, and part of something special.

Why do families love Equality Charter School?

Equality does not expect every scholar to be a masterful mathematician, reader, artist or scientist when they join us.

  • We provide remediation in literacy and math for anyone who comes to us below grade level. We are intentional in providing scaffolds and supports, and we are careful to reduce those supports as each scholar achieves new levels of independence.
  • We nurture and engage scholars with disabilities. On average, we serve a higher population of Students with Disabilities (SWDs) than our comparison district schools. Our SWD Program provides individualized supports for all scholars inside of the mainstream classroom, along with a variety of additional remediation services.
  • We welcome those who have not yet attained proficiency in English. Our English Language Learning Program results in ELL graduation rates that far exceed the District and New York City results.
