Land Acknowledgement
International School of Brooklyn respectfully acknowledges that our school inhabits the land of the Munsee Lenape people. The proper name of New York City is the Munsee word, Lenapehoking, which means “Land of the Lenape.” The Land where we nurture and affirm adventurers, leaders, and advocates rightfully belonged to the Lenapes.
This Living Land Acknowledgement honors and recognizes the Indigenous Peoples who have been dispossessed from the homelands and territories that many now continue to fight for, despite their forced displacement. We celebrate this place called Lenapehoking and honor the Indigenous Peoples who first loved it and cared for it. We honor the current Lenape Tribes and Leaders who are still here, still connected to the Land, who are still and have always been here stewarding the Land.
ISB is located in historic and vibrant Carroll Gardens, a neighborhood with the warm feel of a small town right in New York City. Here on Court Street, we are situated on a storied and vibrant Brooklyn block with many cafés, parks, shops, and restaurants, as well as several French and Spanish-speaking businesses. Our school is truly an international community within an international community, where language immersion begins in our classrooms and continues out onto the street.
When visiting ISB, please use our main entrance at 192 Luquer Street. Mail should be addressed to 477 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231.
