Who We Serve

Bright Horizons for Canarsie and Beyond focuses on members of the Canarsie High School family whose connection to CHS was formed between 1987 and 2011.

We serve alumni from those graduating classes and former staff who supported the school community during that time. Individuals who attended CHS but did not graduate may be considered through trusted community referrals.
