At Achievement First Crown Heights Elementary (AFCHES), we believe school should be a place where every child feels seen, challenged, and excited to learn.

Our classrooms come alive with joyful reading, hands-on math, and lessons that spark curiosity. From learning to love books through rich discussions and diverse texts to building deep math understanding with models and movement, our students grow as confident, capable learners.

Programs

Every child also participates in Dance, Art, and PE. Our state-of-the-art afterschool program offers chess, robotics, music, coding, and tutoring.

As a tuition-free K–4 school, we’re proud to serve families with care and commitment—and every enrolled student receives two uniforms to start their journey with pride. At AFCHES, we’re not just building students. We’re building joyful, empowered scholars ready to thrive.

At AFCHES, we believe that every student deserves the support they need to succeed-both academically and personally.

That's why we offer a range of integrated special education services, including speech therapy, occupational therapy, counseling, and academic support, as part of the everyday approach to learning.

These services aren’t seen as separate or special—they’re part of how we meet students where they are, so every child can grow, connect, and thrive alongside their peers.
