Dual language charter school approved to open in Sunset this fall
Sunset Park will be getting a new school this fall.
After years of effort, LEEP Dual Language Academy Charter School has been approved by the New York State Regents to open a charter school — beginning with kindergarten and first grade — in the neighborhood by August of this year.
Founded by Prospect Heights resident Roberto Gutierrez and LEEP Chief Operating Officer Michael Regnier, the goal of the school, whose location hasn’t been revealed yet, is to teach all students to be bilingual by fifth grade.
