M.S. 137 America's School of Heroes is a large, diverse, urban middle school in Ozone Park, Queens. It is made up of professionals dedicated to providing every student with the support to grow emotionally, intellectually, and socially into a contributing member of society.

M.S. 137 provides its staff with professional learning that supports continued growth and best practices that promote student progress. We offer specialized classes, Regents classes, a Spanish Dual Language program and academic intervention support services. Our recently updated Library Media Center is filled with resources, and our librarian collaborates with students and staff on a variety of projects and initiatives. In addition, we have recently implemented an iPad Initiative, in which we aim to provide all students with 1:1 devices in the coming years. We continue to refine our curriculum to meet the goals of the Common Core Learning Standards, 21st century skills and the College and Career Readiness framework. We recognize the importance of collaboration between all members of our school community as a means of ensuring success!

J.H.S. 226 focuses on exploratory learning. The school is organized into three learning communities. The Discovery and Explorations Academy is a hub for sixth graders, which allows students opportunities to explore the Junior High School experience through academic rigor, discipline, creativity, and culture. The Humanities Academy showcases the talents of our seventh-grade youngsters with quarterly performances and displays in music, art, dance, poetry, and drama while continuing to engage students in academic rigor around the Common Core Learning Standards. The Renaissance Academy for Broadcast Journalism engages our eighth-grade students in print and digital media. Students utilize elements of print and digital media to develop quarterly displays in a student newspaper, video broadcast, and a student comic magazine, while continuing to engage in academic rigor around the Common Core Learning Standards.

Channel View School for Research

Channel View School for Research (CVSR) is an Expeditionary Learning School that believes students learn best through a project-based approach. Students focus on character and career development by participating in small advisory groups called Crew. Our students are researchers, historians, urban planners, and scientists that investigate real world problems and develop creative, actionable solutions using cutting-edge technology. We have a Research Technology Robotics program and an oceanography program that uses technology that allows students to actively explore the aquatic ecology beneath Jamaica Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Our program is highly engaging and pushes students to do their best while developing a culture of collaboration and teamwork.

Knowledge and Power Preparatory Academy VI

Knowledge and Power Preparatory Academy VI (KAPPA VI) is located in the beautiful Far Rockaway campus. The school is modeled after the Air Force philosophy of leadership training. Students, who are called cadets, wear a formal uniform and each class, called a squadron, is named after a NASA space mission. Our school's aim is to be an "Ivy League Middle School Academy," with a long-term goal of preparing students for college. The debate team competes in the citywide competition. Math is a point of pride at KAPPA VI, and the school's math team competes in citywide math competitions. Our students are encouraged to take the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT). KAPPA VI also offers a wide range of enrichment courses, including art and music. We have a state-of-the-art media room with iMac computers, and a state-of-the-art library is being built.

Hawtree Creek Middle School

Hawtree Creek Middle School (HCMS)-M.S. 297 is a new small school located in South Ozone Park. Instruction is framed around the school's academic values: communication, problem solving, and research. Instruction is differentiated and provides students with consistent opportunities to collaborate in small groups and engage in academic discussion. Academics and behavior are framed around the school's character values: leadership, collaboration, perseverance, and community, creating a positive school culture. Parent involvement is very strong, and parents take great pride in their child's education at HCMS. One significant aspect of the school is student-led conferences, which take place twice a year. During a student-led conference, students present a portfolio of their work from each content area and explain their process of learning to their parents/families. In addition, HCMS offers a variety of electives each semester for sixth and seventh graders; Regents classes in eighth grade; an extended-day program on Wednesday and Thursday; and academic support classes on Saturday during February and March.

Academy of Medical Technology: A College Board School

Our mission is to provide students with a rich education through the lens of the healthcare professions. We strive to fulfill the societal need for quality clinicians, nurses, and doctors. Students gain the knowledge and skills necessary to become members of a health care team. We stress a hands-on approach to the sciences and STEM education. Our focus on college and career readiness starts in the middle school with trips to visit local colleges to give students strong, realistic goals. Our partnership with Plaza College and St. John's Hospital provides our students with the leadership and communications skills they need to be college- and career-ready. Our school community, made up of dedicated staff and parents, supports all students and provides a solid foundation for their success.

P.S. 007 Samuel Stern

At Samuel Stern (P.S. 7), we provide a well-rounded education that supports the growth of all children. In addition to rigorous Common Core-aligned academics, we offer unique learning opportunities through partnerships with outside organizations. Edible Schoolyard NYC enables our students to participate in cooking and gardening courses. Through the use of our garden, students and families even have the opportunity to harvest their own vegetables. We have a top-notch music program, consisting of a concert and jazz band, a dance program created in conjunction with the National Dance Institute, and championship winning sports teams. Our incentives for academic achievement include monthly award ceremonies and special opportunities for study at some of New York City's elite cultural institutions, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Through initiatives like these, we hope to empower students to be agents of change within our school, their East Harlem community, and the entire world.
