Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School

“Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.” Franklin Delano Roosevelt. To this end, we at Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School provide our students with an extensive range of academic courses and extracurricular activities. The introduction of grade-level communities provides the benefit, focus, and intimacy of a small school while still maintaining the choices, options, and diversity of a large comprehensive high school.

• Students will explore the field of robotic design using a variety of hands on activities. Students begin with an introduction to the tools used to create robotic devices. As they progress through the series of classes, computer programming becomes an essential and vital element. This culminates in a capstone design project and Teaching Assistant positions for students to mentor our incoming engineers. Our Robotics Academy offers opportunities for scholarships and research opportunities.
• This is an interdisciplinary program for students interested in understanding the natural and urban environment and environmental ethics through hands-on and project-based learning. Students will develop analytical and process skills that will prepare them for college and a career in environmental science and emerging green industries. In addition, students will explore the real-world use of hydroponics and the importance of green living. This culminates in a Capstone Project for Seniors.
• Theatre and music preparation program with courses in acting, movement, music theory, technical theater and theater history.
• Our mission is to prepare students for college and career opportunities in fields such as advertising, graphic arts, publishing, journalism, television, and film/theatre. Courses are centered on a learning environment comprised of state of the art facilities including Mac labs, the complete suite of Adobe Creative Suite software, 3D modeling printers, Advanced Photography Laboratories, and a Black Box Theatre. There is a capstone project where students finalize their portfolio.
• This program will allow students to explore the natural world through hands-on and project-based learning. Students will record observations, develop questions, design and conduct experiments, collect and interpret data, and propose new ideas from their conclusions. Students will have the opportunity to use multimedia to present their research articles or findings as a Capstone Project to panels of their peers in class, science fairs, research symposiums, and competitions throughout NYC.
