About

At the New Cobble Hill, our vision is to know and empower our students as individuals so they will reach their maximum potential, make informed choices, and create meaningful lives. Through our programs and partnerships, our school offers two programs: Law and Bio Medial Science. Students in the law program have the opportunity to visit Washington DC, and sit in on Supreme Court, and visit the Capital Building, White House, and other sites throughout the DC area. This three day trip and all trips are free to our Scholars. Biomedical students have the opportunity to utilize state of the art technology including virtual reality devices that closely mimic the equipment that are currently used in hospitals and medical centers. Students also work in state of the art laboratories to obtain hands on experience in conducting dissections, and experiments. Students in this program have the opportunity to visit John Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore, Maryland, where they experience the real life training and education of our future Doctors, Nurses, and Technicians. They also visit nearby Universities and sites within the Baltimore and DC area. This trip three day trip is free to all Scholars in the program. We offer Dual Enrollment Courses via Syracuse University Project Achieve (SUPA); Outlier Dual Enrollment College Courses, and CUNY College Now courses. Students explore career options and areas of interest in a learning community that values achievement in character, culture, and academics. Our students graduate with as strong knowledge of self, active participants in their learning, excellent decision-making skills, pride in work and achievement, and a strong ability to advocate for themselves and others.
