The New York City Academies are a partnership with the public and private sectors committed to bringing career-themed education to public high school students. Founded in 1982, with the collaboration of the National Academy Foundation (NAF) and the New York City Department of Education, we are now in 34 high schools across our 5 boroughs serving over 3000 students. For a complete list of our locations, click here.

We currently support Academies in the themes of Engineering (AOE), Finance (AOF), Hospitality & Tourism (AOHT) and Technology (AOIT). Students participate in an industry-validated curriculum in addition to their New York State Regents requirements. We also offer such enhancements as job shadowing, student conferences, theme-specific college courses, public speaking classes and internships.

We are part of a national network. The National Academy Foundation provides Academies with curriculum, partnerships and professional development. The NAF network connects alumni, teachers and business partners. Nationally, 90% of Academy students go on to college. To learn more about NAF, their website is www.naf.org.

In a recent eight-year study by MDRC, students participating in career Academies showed significantly higher earnings than their counterparts. Click here to read the complete report.
