Digital Arts and Cinema Technology High School (Brooklyn School for Global Studies)

We provide a rigorous academic program dedicated to closing the achievement gap that prepares students to be college and career ready. Students are immersed in authentic learning experiences in the fields of digital art, film and technology. Through a specialized program that incorporates academic, creative, and technical skills, students are prepared for postsecondary education and to pursue a career in the field of media. By maintaining a collaborative and supportive learning environment, students who graduate from our school are persistent, resilient, and capable of being successful in college and beyond.

• Students choose between a four year sequence in either Digital Cinema Production or Digital Arts. In Digital Cinema Production, students are immersed in the art and craft of digital filmmaking through a balance of classroom instruction and hands on production experience. This program instills the skills needed for students to write, produce, direct and edit their own films. The Digital Arts curriculum blends art and computer science.
