NEW YORK — The first New York City public school offering the Arabic language and culture is set to open in September.
Named after the Lebanese poet and philosopher, the Khalil Gibran International Academy for grades 6-12 will be located in Brooklyn and be one of 40 new schools that the Department of Education plans for the 2007-2008 school year.
All the new schools will be located in existing school buildings that are being closed for poor performance.
The academy will receive funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
