Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment, or BASE, is one of four public high schools in the Prospect Heights Educational Campus, which was formerly Prospect Heights High School.

BASE was established in 2003 by a partnership between the Prospect Park Alliance and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Students participate in "field studies" in Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to supplement classroom education about science, nature, and the environment.[1]

The school offers a variety of advanced courses and electives and shares the athletic resources, including a swimming pool, library, and school-based service providers with the Prospect Heights Educational Campus[2].
