Overview Paragraph

We are a small, multicultural high school on the campus of LaGuardia Community College. All of our students are new to the country. We focus on English language development. Our teachers collaborate on interdisciplinary teams. We prepare English Language Learners for success in college and careers. Students develop their academic and English skills by completing individual and group projects. Students present portfolios for graduation and are able to stay for a free year of college as part of our Early College Program after they complete their high school graduation requirements within four years. While in the Early College Program, we provide students with academic support classes to ensure their success in college.
