Hebrew Language Academy Charter School 2

Hebrew Language Academy Charter School 2 (HLA2) is a K-5 public charter school in Brooklyn, distinguished by its dual-language program in English and Modern Hebrew. The school offers an academically rigorous curriculum focused on developing global citizens through critical thinking, collaboration, and social responsibility. Academic performance is a notable strength, with students achieving proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math that are above the citywide median. The school serves a diverse student body, including a significant population of English Language Learners and students with special needs, and is committed to personalized learning with small student-to-teacher ratios. Parents generally express high satisfaction, praising the nurturing environment, dedicated teachers, and strong academic offerings. However, some parents have raised concerns regarding student safety and the handling of behavioral issues. HLA2 recently moved into a new, modern facility at 2286 Cropsey Avenue, featuring a full gymnasium, large cafeteria, and climate-controlled classrooms.
