| Overview Paragraph | Our mission is to provide a strong core academic curriculum with a concentration in marine sciences. Imagine an education being delivered along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in the legendary community of Coney Island, surrounded by the New York Aquarium's collection of marine mammals, fish, and invertebrates. Our partnerships with the New York Aquarium and the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment offer students a world-class, challenging, standards-based education. |
