School Mission
At BRICK Buffalo Academy Charter School ("BBACS"), we will graduate a community of learners
who will contribute positively to our global society and embrace their role as architects in building a
just and better world. We use a holistic approach to ensure that students from East Buffalo
neighborhoods have the knowledge, skills and support needed to be college, career and life-ready
upon graduation. Our school provides a rigorous, inclusive and culturally responsive curriculum that
challenges students academically and builds their social emotional competencies. We also immerse
our families in an ecosystem of rich community partnerships to support them in maintaining the
stable and healthy homes necessary for children to thrive. In partnership with our families, we
empower our students to draw strength from their identity and become leaders in their communities.
