About the school

Writers is a 6th through 12th grade school where all of the middle school students take high school Regents exams and most of our high school students take college courses. The school's philosophy focuses on collaboration, communication and has many structures to develop students both academically, socially and emotionally. Both during the school day and through their afterschool connected with the Child Center of NY, Writers students take classes in dance, drumming, art, theater, video production, digital music production, coding, STEM, and college planning. Teachers stay in touch with parents through regular use of Pupil Path and students are supported to meet the school's high expectations through a comprehensive intervention system that takes place ever afternoon Tuesdays through Fridays. While the Preparatory Academy for Writers has been able to achieve high graduation rates and impressive proficiency levels, it has also been able to created a caring and fun-loving culture. The Preparatory Academy for Writers is where scholars write successful futures.
