Overview
- The Earl Monroe New Renaissance Basketball School held a formal dedication on Thursday as it moved into a five‑story, roughly 69,000–70,000 square‑foot permanent campus in Mott Haven.
- The new $39.5 million facility includes a broadcast studio, podcast studio and classrooms designed to support vocational training and long‑term enrollment growth.
- The school offers majors tied to the business of basketball such as analytics, broadcast journalism, media, coaching, law and marketing to prepare students for off‑court careers.
- Founder Dan Klores and school leaders say early cohorts entered with low reading levels, prompting one‑on‑one and small‑group literacy interventions that school officials credit with strong college‑acceptance results for a graduating class.
- The dedication drew NBA figures including Earl Monroe, Bill Bradley and commissioner Adam Silver and organizers say the campus is meant to anchor local opportunity and community pride as the school enters its third graduating class.
