Greenpoint Art and Technical High School (Frances Perkins Academy)

Greenpoint Art and Technical (GATH) offers a rich liberal arts curriculum motivated by the visual arts. With a low teacher to student ratio, students receive personalized guidance and support. The visual arts focus is interwoven into a strong academic program that prepares students for a wide range of careers.

GATHÂ’s skilled educators deepen learning by building grit, responsibility, creativity, and leadership skills among all of our students. Lastly, students participate in internship opportunities in a number of fields through artistic and academic partnerships.
