The Future is Free.

Kwenda Collegiate Girls is a new kind of school.

We imagine a more just, free, equitable world for our girls.

Allow Us To Introduce Ourselves

Allow Us To Introduce Ourselves

We open our doors to grades K-1 in Brooklyn in August 2025. 🌟

Kwenda Collegiate Girls Charter School is a K-5, public, tuition-free, girls’ school that reimagines education with girls, and gender expansive youth, at the center.

OUR COMMITMENT IS IN OUR NAME

Kwenda means “go” in Swahili.

We believe that our girls and our gender expansive youth deserve an education that provides the knowledge, skills, and habits to “go” wherever they want to in life - from college, to the board room, to the White House.
