inscripción@wearedream.orgWelcome to DREAM Mott Haven
Elementary School
At DREAM Mott Haven Elementary School, everything we do is guided by our Whole Child model: the belief that every child needs and deserves not only rigorous academic instruction, but also social-emotional support, physical health and wellness, and the strength of a community behind them. When children are known, seen, and loved, that’s when they have the space to grow into the leaders, innovators, and changemakers of tomorrow.

el lugar importa
At DREAM, we believe that every child deserves a beautiful space to play, learn, and grow. DREAM Mott Haven Elementary School is located at 20 Bruckner Boulevard, DREAM’s brand-new home, a state-of-the-art school located in the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx. At capacity, it will serve 1,300 Pre-K-12 DREAM scholars.
As core to our mission as it has been from day one, opportunities for play run throughout the new school, from the ground floor’s auxiliary gym to our rooftop playground. DREAM students are given the best spaces to learn, including a light-filled, cathedral-type library and a STEM quad featuring speciality classrooms and laboratories. The space is a physical manifestation of DREAM’s ambitions for its students.
nuestro plan de estudios
DREAM’s curriculum ensures rigorous instruction that teaches children to think critically and imaginatively. For elementary school, this includes:
- Literacy
- Math
- Science
- Art
- Physical Education
- Social Emotional Learning
DREAM uses an inquiry-based approach to learning to put scholars in the front seat. Scholars find solutions to problems on their own and share their discoveries with the class. By problem solving first, they’re able to gain context on subjects and learn from their own thinking. In our classroom, we want scholars talking more than teachers.
