About
As a FutureReady NYC school, our mission is to prepare students to become college and career ready. Our strong academic focus is coupled with an equally strong sequence in Visual Arts (2d and 3d drawing, digital arts, photography), Computer Science and Robotics Engineering (Oracle Java certification), and our state-of-the-art Medical Careers program (Medical Assistant, Phlebotomy certification). Students can also become New York State Licensed in Cosmetology/Natural Hairstyling with Business management(Virtual Enterprise certification) and receiving career skills upon graduation, giving them a viable source to pay for college. Our college-going culture is fostered by a continuing partnership with Cornell University, Princeton, Arizona State, Farmingdale State, Queens College, Vaughn College, York College, and multiple Advanced Placement courses. Students can graduate in less than four years and earn 30+ college credits towards an Associates Degree.
