Urban Action Academy

All students graduate equipped with the knowledge, skills, and personal choices to pursue college and professional careers in public service. Our graduates serve as public ambassadors who take action in their community, city, and nation. We are a proud AVID school that offers a variety of college level classes beginning in ninth grade. Students enjoy our partnerships with the Justice Resource Center (JRC), Momentum Teens, and several colleges. Students in all grades attend CUNY College Now and Smart Scholars classes after school and on weekends. Students in all grades participate in moot court and mock trial at Fordham University. Our goal is to extend these offerings to 80 to 110 students annually by 2017.
