High School of Computers and Technology

Public choice option that is not guaranteed by address and generally depends on district choice or broader application rules.

The High School of Computers and Technology provides an environment where students prepare for a career in the computer industry as they are building a foundation to further their education in college or a post-secondary technical school. Students can choose to learn skills for either IT-based careers or computer science careers such as coding, web design, IT analyst, cybersecurity, app development, game design and many others. All instruction is interdisciplinary and hands-on, with project-based learning. Students will be able to obtain certification(s) in specific fields while earning a Regents diploma. All students will have the opportunity to earn early college credit, earn industry credentials, participate in paid work experiences and receive personalized advising to graduate onto higher education and/or employment in highly sought-after careers. At HSCT, learning is tied to real-world applications and internships so that students learn how to be successful in high-demand, high-paying jobs. To expand upon the post-secondary pathways that HSCT offers, students attending our school are now eligible to apply to the Bronx STEAM Center as well. Students accepted to Bronx STEAM will spend a portion of their school day and at least two years engaging in high quality Career and Technical Education classes at the Bronx STEAM Center in one of six career pathways aligned to critical sectors such as healthcare and technology. In this way, HSCT has deepened our commitment to providing students with high-quality experiences that prepare them for high-demand, high-wage careers.
