We also offer partnerships with the City University of New York and Long Island University for advanced students seeking opportunities to gain college credit while at Brooklyn Arts. With our AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program, students who require additional support gain techniques to allow for mastery in academic areas. Our 90% passing rate in the English/Language Arts Regents allows students to take Advance Placement classes in their sophomore year.
