A. Fantis School

Fantis has an established history spanning nearly 60 years of cultivating a unique environment where our students flourish academically, socially and spiritually. A. Fantis serves students from PreK3 through 8th grade. With just one class per grade and a community of alumni that spans generations, Fantis creates a small, familiar environment where each child is recognized as a unique individual. School Governance is currently implementing a five-year strategic plan to establish Fantis as a premier school in Brooklyn.

In order to realize this vision, the School Board is fully focused on developing and supporting faculty by partnering with universities, educators and scientists from Bank Street to Vanderbilt University. This is a rare opportunity to join a school that is both steeped in history and ready to transform into an institution of 21st century learning and best practices.
