WHY AMS
Learning that goes beyond the classroom.
AMS is one of seven United Charter High Schools across New York City. Every campus shares the same commitment: small schools where scholars are known by name and prepared for what comes after graduation. At AMS, scholars learn to think critically, communicate confidently, and turn ideas into action.
What sets us apart: Demonstration of Learning (DOL), where scholars present their work and reflect on how they've grown, and a Cohort Model that keeps the same support team with every scholar for all four years.
THE FOUR PILLARS
Four promises to every scholar.
1
NEON
A safe, loving, and nurturing community
Loved for who they are. Championed for who they will become.

BLUE WING
Joyful classrooms built for deep thinking
Think deeply. Learn joyfully. Lead next. Real inquiry, not just note-taking.

UNITED BLUE
Prepared for what comes next — college & careers
AP courses, college credit through the University of Delaware and SUNY New Paltz, and community internships.
