The bureaucrats finally stopped dragging their feet and approved Kwenda Collegiate Girls. We forced them to recognize that our daughters deserve better than the status quo, and we won. Stay ready because we will be watching them every step of the way to ensure they follow through.

Kwenda Collegiate Girls Charter School is a proposed K-8th grade college preparatory, all-girls, tuition-free public charter school for the young women of Brooklyn, NY.
We know that girls' schools have transformational impact on their alumnae. Currently, only 1% of young women in the United States graduate from girls' schools; however, a staggering 1 in 4 Congresswomen are alumnae of girls' schools. New York City is home to some of the most successful and storied single-gender independent schools in the country. Yet, there is only one existing public elementary all-girls school in the entire borough of Brooklyn. Kwenda Collegiate Girls strives to be an additional high-quality option for families and students seeking a single-gender, college preparatory setting.
Our Mission: Kwenda Collegiate Girls Charter School educates young women in kindergarten through eighth grade in an academically rigorous, structured, and supportive community that prepares all students to graduate from college with the courage to lead.
I am signing this petition to affirm that I have read Kwenda Collegiate Girls' mission, I believe in this mission, and I would like to see Kwenda Collegiate Girls open as a free, public charter school in the fall of 2024.
Thank you for your support. Let's "go".

The bureaucrats at the Department of Education are still dragging their feet while Brooklyn families are left with no decent options. We are pushing for this meeting regardless of their silence because our girls deserve a school that respects their potential.

I support Kwenda Collegiate Girls Charter Schools ability to move forward with their charter.
I am signing this petition to affirm that I have read Kwenda Collegiate Girls' mission, I believe in this mission, and I would like to see Kwenda Collegiate Girls open as a free, public charter school in the fall of 2024.
Can't wait for Kwenda to open! Educators, leaders and families and eager to see what the school has to offer.
I believe that, if given the opportunity, Kwenda, its mission, and the people behind it will go on to transcend how education is delivered to children K-8; not only in Brooklyn, but nationally and internationally. In addition to impacting the educational landscape, Kwenda's implementation and execution could very well be the blueprint that other educational institutions will look to as a guide for success. Bring Kwenda to BK!
This school is much needed! I am not in Brooklyn but many friends are. I hope to spread the word in support of your school!
Rooting for the success of this school.
I am in support of Kwenda Collegiate Girls Charter Schools!
