My Info
About
We promote and support scholarly endeavors through a rich and varied curriculum, emphasizing our core values of creativity, compassion, wonder, and resilience. Through an interdisciplinary approach, utilizing New York City as a learning lab, students experience rigorous coursework through authentic expeditions, which culminate in public presentations of learning. Expeditions engage students in case studies that examine and analyze compelling topics from a variety of perspectives. Our advisory program (Crew) is a unique structure to support student development. It is expected that students work towards achieving an Advanced Regents diploma and have the opportunity to take multiple Advanced Placement (AP) courses through a partnership with AP For All. WESS offers extensive opportunities to participate in sports, clubs, course-related travel, and service learning.
