8th grade cadets may take the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) in the Fall of their 8th grade year. For more information about the SHSAT and the Specialized High Schools, visit https://www.schools.nyc.gov/learning/testing/specialized-high-school-admissions-test

Eligible 8th graders may take up to three high school level courses and the corresponding Regents exams in Biology, Algebra I, and US History; not all 8th graders take every exam.

Special Education

All students with disabilities who require special education services have Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The IEP contains information about your child's interests, strengths, needs, goals, and educational program. It is a legal document that describes how the DOE will provide your child:

A Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
In the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE).

SEL (Social-Emotional Learning)

Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which students develop the skills to understand and manage their emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, build and maintain healthy relationships, and make responsible decisions. At our school, SEL is part of everyday learning: we work to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every student feels known and valued. By strengthening self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making, we help our students succeed in school and in life. Families are important partners in this work, and the resources below offer helpful strategies for supporting your child’s social and emotional growth at home.
