Under the pathways of architecture, engineering and technology our students complete high school requirements and take college classes at The New York City College of Technology while they are in high school. In our small and thriving community, students receive individualized attention and are seen, loved, appreciated and cared for. They get the opportunity to partake in paid internships through our partners, have access to almost all PSAL sports through our shared campus teams and choose from a variety of clubs and activities to enrich their young adult lives. Our students have access to AP courses and non-technical college electives. Completing most high school requirements by junior year, they are eligible to begin college classes while still enrolled in high school. This comes at no cost to families.
