We offer a positive school environment, we value academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs, we use proactive strategies for teaching appropriate behaviors, and we use project-based learning to engage scholars. Our holistic programming focuses on career exploration, extensive athletics, art, health, theatre and music, and a host of special days, like career day, and a borough-wide college fair.
