Located in Downtown Brooklyn, UAI is a welcoming, all-girls public school serving grades 6-12, with a powerful mission: to prepare young women to lead, innovate, and thrive in college and careers. UAI offers multiple Advanced Placement (AP) courses across subjects like math, science, English, and computer science,so students can challenge themselves academically and earn college credit while still in high school. UAI is proud to partner with NYU Tandon School of Engineering to give students real-world experience in STEM fields through our Introduction to Engineering Course at the NYU Downtown, Brooklyn campus.

Through internships, career-connected learning, and early college exposure, our students are prepared to lead in the industries that shape our world. Outside the classroom, students participate in a variety of clubs, leadership opportunities, and a robust after-school program in partnership with Girls Inc. NYC, designed to support growth, sisterhood, and self-confidence. At UAI, every student is known, supported, and inspired to dream big. Come discover what's possible when young women are given the tools, the voice, and the vision to lead.
