My Students

Recognized as a ”non-traditional academic haven for struggling students,” C. is distinguished by its curricular focus on experiential learning through internship. C. is built on the idea that all children learn differently, some learn by seeing, some by hearing, others by doing. Education at CAS is individualized, helping young people to reach their full potential. We serve 600 students who have transferred from over 200 educational institutions from all over New York City and New York State. Often, these students are overage and under-credited with over 10 percent homeless, living in temporary shelters, or in foster care; safety transfers–students; young mothers and fathers utilizing on-campus childcare services; and teens leaving residential psychiatric facilities and correctional facilities.

CAS helps provide a diverse group of committed interns to businesses, health centers, and organizations across all five boroughs, breaking down barriers and prejudices against the city's hardest-to-reach young people while providing them with real-world skills to help jumpstart their future.

My Project

MAD Academy (Music, Art, Design) at City-As-School supports students in an alternative, progressive, transfer, public high school in NYC by facilitating experiential learning activities. We develop the skills and connections so our students can pursue creative industry careers in the arts and music. MAD Academy connects our students with professionals in the creative industry, particularly music, to support their songwriting and performance skills to develop a professional body of work. This project will fund Ben Julia as he helps our students write and record songs and prepare for a concert for their family and friends. This is a unique opportunity for our students to collaborate with industry professionals and create a powerful performance.
