“It is liberal, laid back and has rotating schedules. There are lots of different classes and teachers who are artists. I really liked the atmosphere and the arts are taken seriously.” Fall 2006 LAST UPDATED: December 2006
24-50 FDR Drive, New York, NY 10010 Tel: 212) 684-7400, Fax: 212) 684-1382 http://www.unis.org DEMOGRAPHICS: This school caters to an international group as well as New Yorkers. Many children of UN workers and diplomats attend here making it ethnically and racially diverse. According to their website: ACADEMICS: UNIS offers a challenging, well-defined, standards-based, international curriculum drawing upon the most successful practices in education: 1. Strong academic curriculum throughout the school2. The curriculum fosters the acquisition of knowledge, development of skills and attitudes and complex problem solving application across a range of disciplines3. UNIS's written curriculum and assessment plan is developed and reviewed through an on-going renewal process4. The curriculum throughout the school is horizontally and vertically connected and clearly articulates responsibility for teaching and assessing standards for student learning 5. All curriculum, Junior A through the International Baccalaureate, is based on the most current educational research available ART: By studying different artistic traditions, students become aware of the cultural contexts that underlie perception and imagination. In turn they also learn how perception and imagination build culture. Until the tenth grade, works of artists, historical movements and cultural traditions that are relevant to projects are studied. In the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program, a more extensive Art History and Art Issues component is given. Museum trips and visits by artists are organized when appropriate. Visual Art Teachers: Jim Richards, John Ingram NYU Student Comments: “UNIS has amazing arts facilities with a diverse group of caring teachers. The high school environment is portfolio based, and due to the I.B. program, rests heavily on collecting pieces over the course of the four year program. This is a great school to observe a traditional, international, and conceptual, though not necessarily politically active atmosphere.” Fall 2006 LAST UPDATED: December 2006
122 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10023 Phone: (212) 501-1110 | Fax: (212) 501-1111 Principal: Lynette Delgado http://www.urbanassembly.org According to Insideschools.org: DEMOGRAPHICS: Grade levels: 9 to 12 Class size: 27 Enrollment: 301 Ethnicity %: 16 W / 32 B / 49 H / 5 A Attendance: 80% What's special: Unique opportunity for students to work with some of the major media institutions in the city. Downside: School may not be attractive to students looking for a lot of structure. ACADEMICS: The name Urban Assembly Media High School may raise images of a school filled with budding Oprah Winfreys. Indeed, this may be the path that some of the students take, given they are attending a school with such partners as ABC, TimeWarner, and the Daily News. But founding Principal Lynette Delgado has a much broader concept in mind -- a school focused on teaching about the power of media, how it works, and how it affects our understanding of the truth. "When I see one neighborhood with a lot of cigarette advertising and another with none, I want to explore why and how it affects a community's perception of itself," Delgado told us.

“The studio-based classes that are currently offered are Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Advanced/College Prep Art, and Philosophy of Art (co-taught with humanities teacher). There is a lot of freedom in the curriculum to develop your own lessons. If you would like experience teaching in a public high school that has some limitations, such as no sink in the room, but also has small classes (12-17 students) and an enthusiastic art teacher who is open to new ideas, then this is an excellent school to student teach. Classes are not highly structured, but you can develop additional structure within the curriculum.” From Spring 2008 LAST UPDATED: May 2008

Grade levels: 9 to 12 Class size: 20-34 Enrollment: 2494 Ethnicity %: 3 W 32 B 62 H 5 A Attendance: 70% ACADEMICS: Just a block east of Union Square, Washington Irving is a large high school designed to provide something for everyone, from high-achieving students bound for college to those still struggling to learn the basics. The Art House, one of the best of the nine programs in the school, offers classes in fashion design, photography, and sculpture. Each year, a handful of Washington Irving students receive an International Baccalaureate--an advanced degree recognized by European universities. Older students, who may be working during the day, may take evening courses in the Young Adult Borough Center (YABC) to finish their high school degree. The school has extensive special education services and a large number of classes for new immigrants… Visual Art Teacher: Mrs. Hermann NYU Student Comments: School philosophy: “Confused. There seemed to be a lot of changes happening here because the school got a poor rating from the state and things are being reorganized.” Art program philosophy: “Somewhat progressive and rather casual. I know that Ms. Hermann will not be there next year. It may be an interesting place to observe and see what happens but I wouldn’t recommend it for student teaching – a little too unstable.” Spring 2008 LAST UPDATED: June 2008 Edward A. Reynolds West Side High School / H.S. 505 140 West 102nd Street NEW YORK, NY 10025 Phone: (212) 678-7300 | Fax: (212) 678-7380 Principal: Ms. Jean Mctavish
LAST UPDATED: December 2006 The Williamsburg High School for Architecture and Design 257 N. 6th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211 Phone: (718) 388-1260 | Fax: (718) 486-2580 Principal: Steve Farina www.whsad.org According to Insideschools.org: DEMOGRAPHICS: Grade levels: 9 to 12 Class size: 25 Enrollment: 305 Ethnicity %: 3 W / 56 B / 33 H / 9 A Attendance: 88% What's special: Students get instruction in architecture beginning their freshman year, and continuing through 12th grade. Downside: No music program; no foreign language offered until 10th grade. ACADEMICS: The school, which opened in September 2004 with just 100 9th graders, will grow to its full size of 400 students in grades 9-12 in September 2007. One of a burgeoning number of new, small high schools throughout the city, the school benefits from small classes and a well-developed "theme." The principal, Charles Pomaro, was formerly an assistant principal for engineering and technology at Brooklyn Tech, and the school's architecture teacher is a licensed architect from Pratt Institute. "That's my whole thing: the design process," said Pomaro, who added that each student is expected to leave the school with his or her own portfolio of work. "It's a way of thinking. We want students to develop the eyes of design." Pomaro has big plans for the school, including refurbishing the shop so that students can carry out large-scale construction projects, among them building a structure in the school's yard. He says that juniors will volunteer with Habitat for Humanity to build low-income houses.
