About

Our small school's familial atmosphere gives students the support and guidance necessary for success both in high school and as they plan for college and/or careers. Teachers and staff use a variety of resources and technology to address the varied learning needs of the student population to ensure that they have access to rigorous and engaging curriculum. We are proud to offer Mercy University courses, allowing students to earn up to 24 college credits while still in high school. In addition, students have access to AP classes, student council, club activities (including Musical Theater and Drama), and the CUNY College Now at Lehman College program. Renaissance provides opportunities for all students interested in the arts to explore the different art forms for self-expression, fostering creativity and individual voice. We believe in the power of voice, choice, and identity. We strive to provide a safe and supportive environment where students feel empowered to explore their interests, develop their talents, and make choices that align with their individual goals and aspirations.
