Lafayette Educational Complex in Brooklyn, NY, was established after the transformation of Lafayette High School into five smaller schools due to safety concerns and a low graduation rate. The complex, now home to Kingsborough Early College School, International High School at Lafayette, Expeditionary Learning School for Community Leaders, High School of Sports Management, and Life Academy High School for Film and Music, fosters a diverse learning environment.
Each school within the complex operates independently, yet shares common facilities such as the auditorium, playing field, and lunchroom. Students entering the complex must pass through metal detectors for added security. The offerings range from college credit opportunities at Kingsborough to engaging project-based learning at Expeditionary Learning School.
International High School at Lafayette provides specialized instruction for recent immigrants mastering English, while High School of Sports Management integrates sports skills into academic learning. Life Academy High School for Film and Music utilizes film as a tool for student engagement and learning enhancement, with a secondary focus on music education.
