Beginning in September 2022, A School Without Walls will offer two new NYC high school learning options, a hybrid program and a virtual program.
- These new hybrid and virtual programs educate students through interdisciplinary projects, real-world learning, and community-facing action.
- Giving high school students the opportunity to pursue their interests and passions as the core of their school experience––to study subjects they truly care about in-depth––empowers them to excel and work together to transform their communities.
All NYC students entering grade 9 this fall are welcome to apply to either or both programs.
Apply by July 6, 2022!
Here's how:
- Log in to your MySchools account at MySchools.nyc and visit A School Without Walls' profile page, you’ll see both programs listed.
- To apply, just click the star next to one or both programs’ names––for each of these programs, favoriting (starring) it is how you apply.
