Rating 4.35 out of 5 60 reviews
I really enjoyed this school because it gave me the ability to graduate in a laid-back environment with teachers who cared. I had a really awful experience with college applications/prep and felt really alone with it. Because of covid I know they are understaffed, so no hate to the counselors, but considering every cycle people are graduating, the school needs to prioritize having a bigger college counselor team.
City as is an alternative learning school, which means students come together from all 5 boroughs and are taught in a way that gets the student involved not only in school but life! Two days a week I go to an internship, MADACADEMY. Mad is a group of staff and students who are passionate about art, whether is be singing, film, producing or design. It stands for Music, Art, Design. In this internship we create a website to document our growth throughout the semester and show our work. Links to songs, trailers for films, social media’s. It’s a way to brand yourself as an artist. This internship has gotten me out of my shell and has pushed me to improve my musicianship. It motivates me to show up to school and learn rather than just show up to pass. Besides the internship, this school allows the student to pick their classes based on what credits they need to pass instead of being put into random classes just to prove to the state that students are in school.
The chance to take internships and classes of my choice for school credit allowed me to gain hands-on, applicable knowledge and motivated my interest in education.
