Welcome to Admissions!
We are a small transfer school in Chelsea that serves students who have completed at least one semester of high school.  With the exception of the ELA Regents exam, we have a Regents exam waiver from the state.  Students complete Performance Based Assessment Tasks (PBATs), which includes both a written paper and an oral defense in each subject area.  We do, however, accept all Regents exams that students have already completed in lieu of the PBAT for that subject area.

We are a small school with a very close-knit environment and a strong advisory program. We work with special education students and English Language Learners as well!  We do not offer an accelerated program, though, so this is not a good program for severely under-credited students.

How to Apply: 
A copy of the application can be found by clicking the link on the right.

After the application is submitted, if we think it could be a good fit you will be invited to an open house and then a group interview.  

If you have any more questions, you can contact us directly using the information below.

Check the tab named "Open Houses" (under Admissions) above, to see the dates of our next open houses.  

We are also current scheduling interviews.  Please feel free to submit your application materials at any time.
