New Dawn Charter High School II

Happy New Year! It's been a while since we last posted but here we go:

💙 Thank You, Queens Community 💙

Because of the incredible trust and support from our Queens families and school partners, enrollment at New Dawn Charter High School – Queens is currently paused.

Here’s what to know:
✅ We are honoring all enrollment appointments that were scheduled and attended
❌ Students who missed their appointment will need to wait
📅 Enrollment will reopen in June for our Summer Term and Fall Semester

If your family already visited our Queens campus but was asked to return because documents were missing, please email [email protected]
as soon as possible so we can complete your file and begin orientation.

📍 Brooklyn campus update: We still have a limited number of seats available, and those spots are filling quickly.

I’ll continue visiting schools and meeting with counselors, families, and students. If you’d like me to stop by your school, review transcripts (with permission), or help explore next steps—even if New Dawn isn’t the right fit—please reach out.

📞 Call or text: 516-342-8522
📧 [email protected]

Thank you for believing in New Dawn and in the potential of every student.
