As a Data Scientist, students will help to analyze data and extract meaningful information from it by combining statistics & mathematics, programming skills, to create a product that is needed by all industry. Students will work with databases, write code for machine learning and utilize Artificial Intelligence.

The Computer Science program provides multiple opportunities for students to master the technical skills needed to build, create, maintain, and debug computer programs being utilized in the professional and personal space through hands-on, project based learning experiences that are required by the tech industry. Through rigorous instructional practices, students are prepared for worldwide industry credentials that may lead to advanced standing or college credit at postsecondary institutions, and entry-level employment opportunities in the CS/IT community. All students study programming languages including HTML, JavaScript, JQuery, Python and use their skills to develop games, mobile, and web applications. Industry partners work with students to develop their skills and prepare them for internships or career and college opportunities. Students are also expected to pass the industry recognized Certiport IT Specialist exam.

The Culinary Arts program offers students academic and hands-on learning experiences that prepare our students to be career ready for the foodservice industry or for further study in colleges and culinary schools. Students begin by learning about the use and maintenance of culinary equipment and tools, the fundamentals of kitchen safety and sanitation, recipe use, and basic knife skills and cooking techniques. Students move to learning more in-depth skills in the area of safety and sanitation to prepare for the NYC Department of Health Food Protection Certification. They also learn more sophisticated cooking and baking skills in order to plan, prepare, and present a meal or dessert to judges. In their senior year students participate in a Cafe Project that requires the planning, preparing, testing, and running of cafe menu items to be sold to school staff. They also take the NOCTI Prep Cook Certification Exam. Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP) partners with our school and provides various career and scholarship opportunities.

The Electrical Installation and Practice program leads students through the various skills and tasks needed by electrical professionals to be successful for the current and developing electrical field. Students begin their studies by learning about residential electrical installations including hand tool and power tool usage, safe use of ladders, diagram drawings and reading and interpreting blueprints. Students will then progress to learning how to use the National Electrical Code (NEC), which provides the minimum installation requirements for device boxes, raceways and fittings, conductors and cables. Students are introduced to 120 volt systems, and class projects include residential wiring tasks like installing switches and power outlets, sizing and installing service equipment, and safe and proper electrical tester usage. Finally, students explore alternating current and are introduced to motor theory and application. The NEC is used to study grounding and bonding, circuit breakers and fuses, and pull and junction boxes. Class projects include motor control circuits, conduit bending, circuit breaker and fuse sizing, and 3 wire control systems. Students in the Electrical program have the opportunity to receive NCCER and OSHA certifications, both of which are nationally recognized building trades organizations.

Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) provides a CTE focus on a range of courses including: culinary, information technology, graphics, engineering, and architecture. The program includes innovative technical training leading to certification and opportunities to earn college credit. Students are expected to participate in our ninth grade summer program as well as Saturday classes for program acceleration

In the IT Support pathway, students will develop the skills needed to become a marketable professional that top companies that use Information Technology services will want to hire. Through hands-on experiences, students will learn how to use technical resources in real-world scenarios. Students begin their study by focusing on IT fundamentals including both Microsoft and Linux operating systems and products, popular software, computer hardware and peripherals and basic internet and network connectivity. They then proceed to learn how to assemble, support, connect, secure, and troubleshoot the most common end-user devices (PCs, laptops, web servers, printers, scanners, etc.). Finally, they learn various aspects of networking and cybersecurity including using devices such as switches and routers, troubleshooting network problems related to connectivity or security, protecting sensitive data contained in a network, and how to monitor and secure hybrid environments, such as mobile devices, cloud based devices and IoT devices (Amazon Alexa, Google Home Voice, Apple Watch, Smart TVs).
