In 2003, the Prospect Park Alliance partnered with the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the New York City Department of Education to establish the Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment.

BASE is one of over 40 new schools opened city-wide through the New Century High Schools program, designed to provide students with smaller classes, personalized instruction, and rigorous concentrations. BASE uses field study in Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to supplement classroom teaching about science, nature, and the environment.

BASE is open to all New York City residents with priority given to Region 6 students. For more information, call (718) 636-5800 x5400 or visit newvisions.org.
