About
Gotham Collaborative High School empowers students with the resources and support needed to reach their highest potential. We offer comprehensive college and career exploration opportunities, including a robust internship program that connects upperclassmen with over 100 partnerships across NYC in fields like medicine, fashion design, and culinary arts. As a FutureReadyNYC school, we provide specialized courses in healthcare and business management, while equipping students with 21st-century skills like financial literacy, critical thinking, and collaboration. Through our College Pathway Program, students can take college-level courses while in high school and graduate with over 30 college credits, giving them a strong head start on higher education. Students also gain access to paid work-based learning and industry credentials. Additionally, through the Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA) pilot, 9th and 10th graders explore career interests, build professional skills, and apply for apprenticeships in tech, education, finance, and business earning while learning during high school. At Gotham, we combine academically rigorous, student-centered instruction with personalized support so every student develops the skills to thrive as an independent thinker, problem solver, and future-ready leader.
