preguntas frecuentes

¿Que es una escuela autónoma?
Charter schools are public schools, free and open to all, that have the autonomy and freedom to design classrooms that meet the needs of all students. Every charter school network has its own principles and practices, which can result in different outcomes for students and families. At DREAM Charter Schools, all teachers are NYS-certified and we are committed to a model that welcomes every child and serves all of their needs - academic, social-emotional, and physical.
What is DREAM's application process?
Students are selected through a lottery process, and it’s free to apply. Applications must be submitted by the lottery deadline, which is April 1, 2022; applications received after the deadline will be placed on a waitlist in the order in which they are received. You can apply online or by using a print application, which are available in English, Spanish, and French. You can access online and print applications by scrolling to the top or bottom of this page.
¿Cuáles son los horarios de DREAM? ¿DREAM ofrece programación para después de clases?
Breakfast is from 7:30-7:55. The school day begins at 7:45 am and ends at 4:00 pm, with afterschool continuing until 5:45 pm. In a typical year, Friday dismissal is at 1:00 pm or 5:00 pm for scholars participating in afterschool. Todos los estudiantes de DREAM tienen garantizado un lugar en nuestra programación extracurricular gratuita.
¿Dónde se encuentra DREAM? ¿DREAM ofrece transporte en autobús?
DREAM has locations in East Harlem (K-12) and the Mott Haven neighborhood of the South Bronx (K-2 and 6). DREAM Mott Haven has DOE busing, and for the 2021-22 school year, will likely provide eligible families busing before school and at normal dismissal. If you choose to have your child in afterschool, we will most likely not be able to provide busing after afterschool. Unfortunately, DREAM East Harlem does not currently offer busing.
¿Qué tipo de apoyo ofrece DREAM para los niños con IEP y / o necesidades especiales?
We welcome all kids at DREAM, and all our classrooms are have an integrated co-teaching model (with two teachers in every classroom) as well as onsite counseling, speech language therapy, physical therapy, hearing support services, occupational therapy, and paraprofessional services. 100% of IEP services are provided in person. For our students without IEPs, DREAM offers Tier 2 Support services in the form of both academic and social-emotional interventions.
Is DREAM accepting applications for the current school year?
Yes - one of our schools, DREAM Mott Haven, is accepting applications for Grades K-2 and 6 for the current 2021-22 school year. To apply, you can fill out a regular application; there will be a space to indicate that you're applying for the current school year.
