The James Baldwin is small, progressive transfer high school deeply rooted in restorative practices, which strives to cultivate a community where every student grows as a person, thrives academically, and experiences a feeling of belonging. As an Outward Bound school, we offer students hands-on, experiential learning and opportunities to experience the outdoors. As a Consortium school, our students engage in project-based learning in every classroom and complete PBATs rather than Regents. Our CAMBA Partnership equips students with work-based learning skills and offers opportunities for paid internships. We provide deep social-emotional support to help each young person grow into the fullest expr We center social-emotional health and development to support students learning and growth as both scholars and people. Our social justice-oriented curriculum reflects the work of our namesake, James Baldwin; integrates students' interests; and provides opportunities for independent research. Students have voice and ownership in school governance and they graduate both college and career ready.
