New York City opens Seven new public schools To extend access to Career education and technique and the support of dyslexia.
The latest schools will add more than 3,800 seats to all boroughs but Manhattan. High education officials say that new schools are part of a wider strategy to create more high quality programs Closer to the place where families live.
“These are the school choices that our families deserve,” said the Chancellor of Melissa Aviles-Ramos Schools at the Manhattan headquarters of the school system on Monday.
The most recent cohort includes two Brooklyn schools focused on artificial intelligence and students with reading challenges, respectively.
The Innovation College in Benshurst plans to use AI to help students learn, support teachers and teach ethical use, according to director Eileen Herusso. Virtual reality will be part of main subjects, such as mathematics and sciences, engaging students through Immersive and real scenarios.
“For example, with equation systems, students can be placed in an airport, and there are two planes. They are about to crash, and they must understand how to crash. Really, they find a point of intersection,” said Herusso.
Central Brooklyn Literacy Academy is modeled after a newly launched school in the Bronx And will have a level of specialized services generally reserved for private schools. The Crown Heights school will open with 72 students in the second and third year, possibly to relax in college.
“Regarding things like phonetics, they will get more time, more practice, more support in these areas,” said Jason Borges, the founding director, who previously supervised the redesign of the literacy of the Adams administration.
Another school should enroll newly arrived immigrant students who speak for limited English, Queens International High School. Staten Island Rise Academy is the first school in District 75 for students with important challenges to open in the borough for more than three decades. In the Bronx, a new steam center will include secondary schools from three districts.
Some others previously covered by the news finally open – HBCU EARLY COLLEGE PREP and a Health care career schoolSupported by former mayor Michael Bloomberg, the Northwell School of Health Sciences. The HBCU preparatory school saw more than 1,000 requests for only 100 seats during its first year.
The opening of new schools comes when New York faces the decline in significant registrations that, although stabilized in recent years, continue to threaten the school system. While reducing a number of students forced certain schools to close or merge with those nearbyCity education officials insisted that this is not a reason to stop launching new programs.
“Our new school strategy is designed to take this challenge directly,” said the first assistant chancellor Dan Weisberg. “We can use the space in a less reactive way, and this will worsen our registration problem.”
