Overview Paragraph
We offer a challenging, sequential, four-year pre-professional art program and an interdisciplinary academic curriculum within a close-knit school community. We offer two visual arts programs: one focuses on developing general knowledge, while the other prepares students to become professional graphic designers. Both programs emphasize skill-building, student creativity, interests, and community contributions. Our cultural partners provide learning experiences and additional resources for students and their families. Our small class size and project-based, student-centered curriculum provide individualized attention and prepare students for college and careers in the arts.

Harry S Truman Educational Campus
Overview Paragraph
Harry S Truman High School is writing a new chapter in our history as the best-kept secret in the Bronx. Our current students and their parents will tell you that we have taken the ‘small school feeling’ of intimate classes, teachers who know you by name, and the time and personal attention needed to achieve success, and combined it with the variety of courses, diverse student body, and world-class facilities that you can only get in a large high school environment. We have received awards for our work in this rebuilding. Our students not only get their core academic courses, but can also commit to one of six career academies. With millions of dollars in scholarships earned by our seniors each year, internships for students starting freshman year and students moving on to prestigious universities like Fordham, NYU, St. John’s, and Penn State, the question shouldn’t be, ‘Why should I attend Truman?’ but rather, ‘Why would I go anywhere else?’ It is a class-leading education, close to home. If it sounds too good to be true, come and visit for yourself.

Overview Paragraph
New World High School is centered around the language acquisition needs of all students in all subjects. Our school engages all students in acquiring and developing the skills necessary for success by infusing English as a Second Language (ESL) into all content areas of instruction. Technology is also integrated throughout the curriculum to develop and reinforce concepts and skills. Our classes are small and our academic program is challenging, with the expectation that students have a successful, timely transition out of the ESL program and graduate in four years. Students share their native cultures and languages and learn to become active citizens in their new country as they adapt to and flourish in American culture and use the English language. Our staff works closely with students to ensure progress throughout the high school years and into higher education and the world of work.
Program Highlights
Advisory, Student Support Services, Career Interest and Self Assessment, College visits, SAT and Regents Preparation, Trips, Cultural Events, Internet After-school, Arts and Music Enrichment, Journalism; Opportunities to take college courses, Online courses, Scientific Webinars; Trips to cultural, historic, and recreational sites in and out of New York City; Extra classes required based on academic needs and post-secondary goals; Focus on learning English and preparedness for college

Overview Paragraph
In September 1994, the New York City Department of Education, the Center for Collaborative Education, and the Coalition of Essential Schools sponsored the first systemic effort to redesign a large high school in the Bronx. Wings Academy was one of five pioneering small schools resulting from that effort, founded on the premise of helping young people use their minds well. Our primary goal is to develop students’ “habits of mind,” which will encourage respect for lifelong learning, purposefulness, and success.

Overview Paragraph
Our motto is ‘academic, creative, and professional preparation for the 21st Century.’ We provide our students and families with a small, personalized high school experience. Student learning is applied to the real world through research, experimentation and project-oriented work. Their learning is then displayed in written, visual and oral exhibitions. Every student is also part of our Advisory-Family program, which investigates critical issues in teen lives and creates a strong peer community. In addition, our students receive intensive career and college preparation with an arts/media specialization via electives, trips and internships. Students also complete an individualized graduation portfolio. Our goal is to help our students reach their potential and nurture their development through student-centered learning approaches, multiple supports, and most importantly, strong relationships.

Overview Paragraph
ACORN Community High school is one of the few mid-size traditional high schools left in Brooklyn. Our goal as a school is to provide our students with a rich learning environment that will well prepare them for the 21st century. This includes preparing students for college and career choices in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) fields and communication. We want our students to be ready for the demands of an increasingly technological workplace. In order to meet these demands, students must have a strong foundation in Math and Science. As part of this groundwork, we work to provide our students with rigorous coursework that promotes collaboration and project-based learning. We continue to support our graduates through alumni events and core college panels. As we empower the ACHS community to transform, “Success is the only Option.”
Program Highlights
The AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) Program provides opportunities for college level preparatory coursework, organization, study skill support and college campus exposure; STEM: Students will have the opportunity to participate in courses that are designed to prepare them in Bio-Medical or Computer Science careers, We are also affiliated with the National Girls Coalition for STEM and National STEAM Girls Collaborative to support our young women in STEM; ESI/CREST – Specifically designed for young African American or Latino males to increase college enrollment and readiness.

Overview Paragraph
Juan Morel Campos Secondary School works to balance experiences in the arts with college readiness activities for all students. Every student at Campos takes daily talent classes of their choice; students become musicians, singers, actors, and visual artists. Partnerships with major community arts organizations, CUNY’s PERC program, and the College Bound Initiative (CBI) ensure that students also connect their learning to the real world and have the opportunity to teach and learn from one another. For example, students conduct gallery openings at professional galleries throughout the city, co-teach STEM classes with teachers in the PERC program, and begin visiting colleges as ninth graders. In addition, an in-house college counselor ensures that students are prepared for college acceptance and enrollment upon graduation. We are small enough to give every student the attention they deserve while being large enough to offer a wide variety of courses and activities during and after the school day. Beginning early in high school, students at Campos visit colleges, earn college credits through Advanced Placement (AP) and CUNY courses, play sports, take on leadership roles, participate in a wide variety of after-school activities, learn about careers in the arts, and are surrounded by teams of adults who offer all of the academic and social support they need to succeed in school. We are prepared to serve any student and value a diverse and richly talented school community.
Program Highlights
Daily talent (visual arts, band, chorus, dance, or theater) courses culminating in an Arts Endorsed Regents diploma; College readiness counseling provided by College Bound Initiative counselor; CUNY At Home In College English and math courses; Blended/online learning for credit through APEX/AVENTA; Mentoring with working professionals through iMentor, Art installations in local galleries through partnerships with BRIC Rotunda and NURTUREart; Technology courses

Overview Paragraph
The Brooklyn Latin School (TBLS) offers a liberal arts curriculum with an emphasis on the Classics. Students complete four years of Latin, history, mathematics, English, science, and at least two years of a world language. Assessments include Socratic Seminars, declamation (public speaking exercises), labs, math expositions, and problem sets. The prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme is integral to the experience; in addition to challenging classwork, IB stresses independent thinking and community engagement. Students can expect a strong emphasis on structured writing and public speaking, as well as an overarching practice of the kind of analysis that will ensure that they are prepared for the challenges of college and careers.
Program Highlights
As a part of the IB Programme, all students complete an extended independent essay, on a subject of their choosing, the completion of which correlates closely to college-level research writing; In addition, students engage in a total of 150 hours of Creativity, Action, and Service (CAS), which may include volunteering or engaging meaningfully with the community outside of TBLS.
