At SBECA, students are challenged with rigorous academics and high expectations that prepare them for high school and beyond. Through hands on labs and real world learning, students build strong problem solving and critical thinking skills. Beyond the classroom, learning comes to life through trips to some of New York City’s most exciting places. Every student attends a Broadway show, participates in overnight camping trips, and engages in daily advisory to build community and support their growth. With caring teachers, a supportive community, and a wide range of sports and arts programs, every student is both challenged and supported. Learn more about what’s possible at SBECA today.
