We are so glad you’re interested in choosing Middle School 50 for your student. We are proud to be a Community School with more than 100 years in Los Sures, the Southside of Williamsburg.
All of our Fall tour dates have passed but there are still ways to find out more about MS 50! You can view the video below to take a guided tour of MS 50 or check out our 3D virtual tour to take a digital walk through the building!

How to apply
MS 50 (also called John D. Wells on MySchools) offers applicants the choice between our traditional programing, with priority given to students living in District 14 then those in Brooklyn as a whole, and our borough-wide Spanish Dual Language Program.
To apply to MS 50, visit our page on MySchools and add us to your child’s middle school application. The middle school application opened on Wednesday, October 15, 2025 and will close on Friday, December 12, 2025. For complete information on how and when to apply, visit the Department of Education’s page which will have the most up-to-date information.
