The Khalil Gibran International Academy (KGIA) opened on September 4th, 2007, in partnership with New Visions for Public Schools, a nonprofit group that has created more than one hundred new small schools in New York City, and the Arab American Family Support Center (AAFSC), a Brooklyn secular social service agency.

The Academy focuses on a rigorous, interdisciplinary currculum using project-based learning, aiming to prepare students for college and successful careers and to foster an understanding of different cultures, a love of learning and a desire for excellence.. With a class of sixty sixth-graders from all corners of Brooklyn, KGIA is the first school in New York City to focus on the Arabic language and Arab cultures.

 

 

As a New York City public school, KGIA is open to all students! If you are interested in 2008-2009 enrollment in the sixth or seventh grade, please contact us as soon as possible!
