The Academy at PS/IS122 strives to provide all students with an opportunity to meet their maximum potential and be prepared for even the most difficult of academic challenges at the high school level and beyond. The modern world changes rapidly and a major goal of our school is to prepare students to meet the unknown challenges of tomorrow. To achieve this, the school offers academic courses which focus on key mathematical concepts, critical thinking, written, and verbal communication skills. Students enrolled in accelerated courses will graduate with credit on the Algebra I and Living Environment Regents and the Spanish Proficiency Exam. The Academy provides a large menu of elective club classes to further student proficiency in areas of interest. Examples of clubs are the guitar club, hydroponic club, movie club, Latin dance club, robotics club, and the chess club. PS/IS122 believes that it is imperative to support our student's social emotional learning. All students at the Academy will be enrolled in an Advisory section to support their academic and social development during the critical middle school years. Finally, our school fosters a strong community among the students through the student council, college trips, student fund-raisers and school dances.
