Academics

Learning that leaves the classroom.

Every student is more than their class average. Our hybrid academy model pairs in-person instruction with digital access to a global classroom while gaining real-world experience across New York City.

How it works

A hybrid academy.

Students attend in person every day. During regular academic periods they recieve in-person instruction with digital class access — and they regularly visit partner sites throughout the metro NYC area to learn about potential career paths.

01

In Person, Daily

A consistent Christ-centered community, every school day.

02

Global Access

Flexible academic periods combine live instruction with digitally accessible coursework so each student can move at the right pace.

03

Experiential

Site visits to partners across the city put careers in front of students long before graduation.
