About the school

City College Magnet School of the Arts (CCMSA) is a 6-12 early college public school located in the Inwood neighborhood of northern Manhattan. In partnership with the City University of New York's (CUNY) Early College Initiative (ECI) and the City College of New York (CCNY), CCMSA provides students with an accelerated pathway to college and career readiness. Beginning as early as their freshman year, students can take free college courses at the CCNY campus, earning college credits while meeting high school graduation requirements and jumpstarting their higher education at no cost. Guided by an arts-infused, project-based curriculum, CCMSA emphasizes cognitive and skill-based learning through principles like design, problem-solving, and critique. Students can explore a variety of electives, from visual and performing arts to STEM and financial literacy, ensuring a well-rounded education. Our graduates leave as college-ready, creative, and critical thinkers, prepared to excel in their future education and careers and poised to make meaningful contributions to their communities.
