Dear Community Congregants, Neighbors, Friends -
The proposed Hebron School project is a collaboration between the Hebron French Speaking Seventh Day Adventist church and the Hebron Bilingual Seventh-day Adventist School, a 40-year-old bilingual school for the children of immigrant families, and a community-minded developer to preserve a historic site in North Crown Heights, save a struggling school and build affordable new housing that all New Yorkers can benefit from.
For over forty years, The Hebron SDA School has provided its nursery through eighth grade students with a rigorous curriculum. Aside from education, the Hebron SDA School fosters an environment that allows its students to explore and express their creativity through song and dance.
The Hebron Seventh-day Adventist Bilingual School – which primarily teaches lower-income children from Brooklyn’s Haitian Community – is a partner in, and beneficiary of this project. Without it, The Hebron SDA School will not be able to protect its historic building from deteriorating and may have to close. Already, the school cannot open and operate for this upcoming 2020 school year due to the current hazardous structural conditions in building.
The proposed project at 959 Sterling Place will allow us to preserve our historic building while protecting the future of our school for generations to come. This project will preserve a landmarked building in an historic district while adding much needed housing to the neighborhood and it will also protect the future of the Hebron Seventh-day Adventist Bilingual School.
Please stand with us and show your support by signing the petition.
Thank you.

The school doors remain closed for now but our resolve is stronger than ever. I am spending my days meeting with local stakeholders to push this plan forward.

The momentum is incredible. This support proves just how much this school means to our neighborhood.

Save the historic building .And preserve the Education space for the Haitian community. Blessings on you.
The Hebron SDA School already has a positive presence in Crown Heights! Planned housing will be a welcome addition! Similar projects have the full support of the residents of Crown Heights. These should receive the same consideration!
The school exist to provide a special educational opportunity to the community. It should be given chance to continue this needed service.
I strongly support this project and hope it will find the support of many others who wish to see christian education continue its course via this institution.
We have for the past 15 years tried various avenues in order to upgrade our dear school (Hebron) but to no avail. This project is by far the best opportunity for us to improve and renovate our historic building and at the same time create a better learning environment for our students.
May GOD-ALMIGHTY grant the oppressed peoples of this world full independence, prosperity, and success.
Save our school please
