Overview Paragraph

Through close partnerships with the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) and with the advertising and media industry, our school prepares students for success at four-year colleges and competitive careers. Students have the option to remain at our school for up to six years and can earn an Associate Degree at no cost in addition to their CTE-endorsed high school Regents diploma. In the first four years, students participate in job shadowing, field trips, training seminars, and summer internships. All of our community members are accountable for our five pillars: Scholarship, Creativity, Character, Responsibility, and Empathy. Students are held to high standards and expected to participate in the development of our community.
