Overview
Our mission at M.S. 50 is to promote youth leadership through academics, arts, athletics, and activism and to empower student voice through debate in all content areas. We are proud to be city-wide debate champions and to be ranked in the top 4 in middle school debate in the entire country! At MS 50, all students take advanced Regents classes and we offer free SHSAT preparation courses. We also have a dynamic Spanish dual language program and a Spanish language debate program. All Students at MS 50 are also exposed to extensive arts and music programming through our partnership with El Puente, a nationally renowned community human rights organization. We have a highly ranked concert band, a Latin jazz ensemble and a drumline, and we have a vibrant visual arts program that includes massive murals. MS 50 students also select from a variety of enrichment activities (debate, concert band, drumline, robotics, video game design, coding, theater, art, photography, step, guitar, newspaper, dance, sports, chess, and more) during our Expanded Learning Time that runs until 4:00. We offer a free afterschool program in partnership with El Puente that provides programming until 6:00.
