About
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis H.S. (JKO) is now a Magnet school that focuses on Science, Technology, Entrepreneurship, Art, & Math (S.T.E.A.M.) with a business focus. This Federal grant of almost 5 million dollars will enable us to enhance student learning experiences with the addition of STEAM electives, school project based learning, smaller class sizes, advanced technology equipment and tools, and after school enrichment opportunities; all part of the school's goal of providing students with a comprehensive set of experiences and opportunities to become college and career ready. Located in midtown Manhattan, steps from the crossroads of the world (Times Square), JKO is a community where we envision our students graduating well prepared for both the business and educational communities. In addition to our award winning Entrepreneurship Virtual Enterprise and Hospitality and Tourism programs, we also offer a third rigorous academic program in economics and finance which includes courses such as AP Statistics, AP Macro Economics, and AP Micro Economics. Explore the world of business through the lens of economics as you prepare for the future. Understand how markets work in order to develop successful business strategies. JKO offers an array of business and math courses that provide an opportunity for work experience and post-secondary studies. Students explore a range of career paths, and gain meaningful experiences they can add to their resumes. Our students engage in a work based learning internship program during their senior year as a way to develop the skillsets necessary to thrive in the business world. Our Entrepreneurship Virtual Enterprise Program enables students to create and operate their own "virtual" company acting as CEOs and department managers. Our NAF Academy of Hospitality and Tourism students explore hotel and event management, as well as study geography, economics, and world cultures. Through our industry and post-secondary partnerships, students are able to work with professionals in the fields of business finance, hospitality and tourism and the arts.
