My students are fifth through eighth graders developing the academic and critical thinking skills necessary to succeed in competitive high school programs, college, and the career of their choice. Our graduates are academically accomplished, intellectually curious, and civically engaged. They tackle challenges diligently and creatively.
While public charter schools in surrounding urban areas such as New York City are seen as necessary, urban areas with at-risk student populations in nearby Mount Vernon, New York are overlooked. The children of Mount Vernon deserve another public school option that can deliver on our "No Excuses" promise. Most of our students qualify for free or reduced price lunch. With a longer school day than surrounding public schools, we strive to eliminate all obstacles to achievement by providing our students with free academic intervention services and free enrichment programs. Our students are eager to learn and participate in the programs that will help them to achieve their goals.
