Orchard Collegiate Academy (Henry Street School)

Founded by the Asia Society, our school helps students acquire the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for college and/or careers while in pursuit of knowledge of the histories, economies, and languages of world regions. Teachers and other adults who make up the learning community forge supportive relationships with students and parents while providing challenging and engaging learning experiences. Our school partners with various community, arts, and business organizations to help students achieve success. Our theme of international studies extends beyond the classroom, where students participate in ongoing ‘Advisory Day Out’ excursions where the multiculturalism of NYC becomes the classroom.
