SCHOOL DESCRIPTION: City-As-School High School is the nation’s leading external learning or experiential learning model for high school students. Founded as an independent alternative high school in 1972, City-As-School’s primary objective is to offer students a multitude of learning experiences that encompass the depth and breadth of New York City’s businesses or resources. The program has continuously evolved to create opportunities for students—particularly those at risk of dropping out—to re-engage with their lives, education, and the society around them. City-As-School students are 11th and 12th grade transfer students (entering CAS with 20 or more credits), and come from any of the public, private or parochial schools within the five boroughs. City-As-School offers a rigorous program that sets high expectations both for students and the professionals in the community who work with them. We use the facilities of over 500 New York City businesses at which students participate in professional activities. These educational resources, along with classroom learning, form the basis of learning in academic areas. All student learning experiences are designed to provide background information and skill acquisition through the attainment of practical knowledge.
