Earl Monroe, Former Knicks Celebrate Basketball High School Built for Careers Beyond the Court
The $39.5 million campus will serve 440 students and expand a charter school built around careers in sports, not playing basketball.
- On Thursday, the Earl Monroe New Renaissance Basketball School opened its permanent facility in the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx, marking a milestone for the charter school founded to connect academics with basketball-related career opportunities.
- Founder Dan Klores created the charter school to connect academics with sports-related careers like analytics and marketing, serving 440 students in grades 9-12 after relocating from the Pelham Bay section.
- The new $39.5 million, 69,000-square-foot facility features specialized classrooms and studios; since 2025, every graduate has been accepted to at least one college or university.
- Hall of Famer Earl Monroe joined NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and former Knicks legend Bill Bradley at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, celebrating the school's unique curriculum designed for off-the-court careers.
- Monroe hopes students will use their education to benefit future generations, embodying the school's motto that "a ball and a book can change the world," Klores said.
