Culture
At BRICK Buffalo Academy, we believe education is more than academics— a school should reflect the cultural identities and lived experiences of its students and families. Our curriculum is rooted in Ubuntu principles of collective care, celebrates the rich history and achievements of Black and Brown leaders, and fosters a culture of learning that builds character, leadership, and purpose.
Community
We are more than just a school—we are a united community of students, families, teachers, community members, and leaders. We know that individual success is deeply tied to the success of the collective. We embody Ubuntu’s principle of interconnectedness and mutual support by ensuring families have the resources they need. From personalized student support to partnerships with local organizations, we aim to strengthen the well-being of our entire community.
Opportunity

Education should open doors—to college, careers, and a future of unlimited potential. As a BRICK network member, we are committed to growing into a full-service K-12 school that prepares students for success through rigorous academics, leadership development, and experiential learning. With BRICK network’s commitment to economic mobility and equity, we ensure students don’t just graduate—they thrive as leaders, visionaries, and change-makers in their communities and beyond.
For families on a mission
At BRICK Buffalo Academy, we believe that all students deserve a quality education that reflects their culture, identity and voice. By rooting in the values of equity, agency, and opportunity, we prepare students to grow, explore, and lead with confidence and compassion in a diverse world.

The application for the 2026-2027 academic year is open, and our application can be found exclusively on the Enroll Buffalo Charters website. We encourage interested families to contact our main office or click below to visit the enrollment website.
Enroll Buffalo Charters is a school application and enrollment process that is available to all Buffalo families looking to access some of our city’s great school options. Families new to Buffalo can visit www.enrollbuffalocharters.org and create an account. Parents apply to all participating schools on one application, from their phone or desktop, ranking schools in order of preference.
Yes, although the best time to apply for the next school year is by the lottery deadline (usually early April). Applying by the lottery gives you the best chance of the school having open seats. Some schools have openings even after the lottery. Even if the lottery deadline has passed, you are encouraged to apply.
No. This website is a portal for applications, not enrollment. Families will be notified of enrollment by the schools to which they apply.
If a public charter school receives more applications than it has open seats available, the school conducts a lottery. Names are drawn at random through a computer program and families are notified automatically. After the lottery has been drawn, students will either be given an enrollment offer or be added to school waitlists. Students may be accepted at more than one school.
To participate in the lotteries, applications must be received before the lottery deadline (usually early April). Following this date, applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. If a school is fully enrolled, then students will be placed on a waitlist. Families are encouraged to apply even if the lottery deadline has passed.
