Our students grow through a rich blend of opportunities. Whether on the court, on the stage, or in the classroom, students are encouraged to express themselves, think critically, and lead with purpose. Through civics and debate, they develop their voices as informed, active members of their community.

At The East New York Arts and Civics School, we don’t just educate we inspire, empower, and build a community where every student belongs and every voice matters.

The wolf is fiercely loyal to its pack. There are instances where a wolf will risk its own life to protect a member of its pack from harm.

COMMUNICATE

All students will cultivate the abilities necessary for effective communication, ensuring that desired outcomes are achieved in all situations and circumstances. This is demonstrated in school through students consistently reading, writing, and speaking in an effective and appropriate manner. The wolf exhibits one of the most distinctive methods of communication. A solitary wolf howls to draw the attention of its pack, while coordinated howls can convey territorial messages between different packs. Additionally, some howls are intended to be confrontational. Communication among wolves takes on various forms.

COLLABORATE

All students will work together and build meaningful relationships to achieve shared goals for themselves and their community. This is demonstrated in school by students actively engaging in group learning, contributing their unique perspectives and strengths to team efforts, and developing the communication and interpersonal skills needed to succeed in college, careers, and civic life.

CREATE

All students will apply the skills and knowledge they have gained to foster positive experiences for themselves and their community. This is demonstrated in school by students consistently staying on track for graduation and successfully completing high school within four years while developing a comprehensive college and career plan.
