About
Our school feels like a college. We provide a rich and authentic learning environment that is rigorous, college and career focused, family oriented and dedicated to cultivating citizens prepared to constructively participate in the society of their time. Students can earn up to 18 college credits through our partnership with CUNY, and choose from Advanced Placement (AP) courses and electives (stock market, photojournalism, music, creative writing, debate, painting, drawing, dance, business, entrepreneurship, gaming, robotics, model UN, neuroscience, genetics, botany, programming, and more). Students also gain real world experience through internships. Our curriculum fosters independence, critical thinking, and social responsibility. We are part of the Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA) pilot, which helps us support career readiness for all our students. We have courses that help our ninth and tenth graders explore their career interests and develop readiness skills. Our students can apply for apprenticeships in tech, finance, and business, which allows them to earn and learn while in high school.

Programs
Humanities & Interdisciplinary
Our Humanities program takes an interdisciplinary approach to the studies of literature, the arts and social sciences. Students are exposed to common threads found in different cultures and human history. They will develop critical thinking skills, communicate efficiency and make cross curricular connections. Their academic experience will foster curiosity and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relation to the world. This program requires students to complete an assignment as part of admissions. Soon, you will be able to upload your completed assignment through MySchools.
