Read more about P-TECH at nycptechschools.org . P-Tech College Now College Now We're happy to partner with Kingsborough Community College to offer two College Now classes here on the Harbor School campus. Qualified students who are interested have the option of taking: Student Development 10: Introduction to College Planning Student Development 11: Career and Life Planning Classes are led by our School Counselor and Kingsborough Adjunct Instructor, Shaun Panton . These are dual enrollment courses that allow students to earn both high school and free CUNY college credits, while preparing and planning for their future. Students start out by taking SD 10, which covers researching colleges and other post-secondary pathways, navigating the college application process, and choosing a college major that matches their interests and goals, while evaluating the return on investment (ROI) of various options to make informed choices. They then move on to SD 11, which builds on SD 10 but focuses on choosing a meaningful career path and how to start the journey to the career and life of their dreams. By the end of both of these courses, students will know more about themselves and will have a greater understanding of what they want to do after they leave high school. We hope to expand our College Now offerings in the future.

Enjoy this video, where some of our student attendees share their thoughts and favorite moments from the trip! Trip photos Summer 2025 Japan Laura Desmond, NYHS Faculty In August 2025 we traveled to Japan for an unforgettable and life changing trip. We had an action packed trip starting in Tokyo, where we visited temples and shrines in Meiji, Asakusa, and Akihabara. We also spent a day tasting incredible food at the Tsukiji Market, visiting Harajuku and Shibuya. From Tokyo, we headed toward Osaka - spending a night at the foot of Mt. Fuji, visiting Kyoto, and taking the bullet train. The entire trip was jam packed with culturally enriching, and truly extraordinary experiences. I have travelled all over the world, and this was by far one of my favorite and most rewarding trips. Spring 2025 Bahamas Davere Hanson, NYHS Faculty Each year, students in New York Harbor School’s Professional Diving program travel to The Island School on Eleuthera, Bahamas, for an intensive, week-long expedition that blends PADI dive certification with real marine science in one of the world’s most vibrant reef ecosystems. In partnership with Island School educators and the Cape Eleuthera Institute, Harbor School divers spend their days in the water completing Open Water and Advanced Open Water dives, practicing skills developed during their training in New York Harbor and pool sessions as they work toward industry-recognized diving credentials. A typical day in the Bahamas begins with assembling and checking their own gear, boarding small research vessels, and diving on coral reefs where they learn to conduct underwater surveys, identify reef organisms, and observe the impacts of climate change, pollution, and coastal development. When students return to campus each afternoon, they live and learn on a sustainable, research-focused island community powered largely by renewable energy, participating in seminars, reflection sessions, and ecological fieldwork that connects their tropical dive experience to marine restoration efforts back home. For many students, this is their first time traveling beyond New York City or seeing a coral reef firsthand, making the trip a transformative experience that builds confidence, independence, teamwork, and environmental stewardship. Over the years, the Bahamas expedition has become a defining milestone of the Professional Diving CTE pathway—an unforgettable journey that strengthens technical skills, deepens scientific understanding, and embodies Harbor School’s mission to prepare students for maritime college and career pathways through rigorous, real-world, ocean-based learning. Upcoming Trips > > > Spring 2027 (April) South Korea For more information on upcoming travel abroad opportunities please contact: Shaun Panton spanton@newyorkharborschool.org
