New York Harbor School Mission
UA New York Harbor School provides a college-preparatory education built upon New York City's maritime experience.
La Mision de NYHS
New York Harbor School utiliza la experiencia marítima de la ciudad de Nueva York para crear un currículo atraídor y preparatorio para la universidad que también inculca en nuestros estudiantes la ética y las habilidades de cuidar el ambiente.


 


  1. The marine world provides an ideal forum for an education based on excellence, discipline and interdependence.
  2. Hands-on, inquiry-based learning in a natural environment stimulates curiosity, critical thinking, and vision, all of which lead to improved academic performance.
  3. All students have the desire and intellect to reach their highest academic standards when given the right opportunities and clear expectations.
  4. Small schools allow students a larger stake in decision making, as well as increased personal attention, alternative assessments, and easier access to the staff.

Sailing a 100 year old schooner through the East River shouldn’t just teach you the skills and content necessary to be successful in college and a career; it should be fun!
