training for New York
City students. The faculty and administration

and student body, seek to provide a unique learning experience
and a specially tailored program for all students who have
an interest in a fashion related field.
Our mission has several

which provide every student with the opportunity to excel,
academically, vocationally, technically and/ or socially.
To foster skills and work habits, enabling students to succeed
academically, mature socially, and develop physically, leading
to success both during and after the high school experience.
To develop programs preparing students to be active and collaborative
participants in a democratic, multicultural society and highly
complex technological world.
To provide students with applicable, hands-on learning experiences,
encouraging
the development of skills needed to succeed in
the fashion industries and/ or
post-secondary educational
experiences.
To devise programs which merge academic and vocational knowledge
and skills, helping students see unity within the diversity
of learning.
To strengthen ties with the business community providing students
access to the latest innovations and technological advances,
and to special enrichments and on-the-job training.
To foster professionalism and collaboration among the entire
school community, drawing upon the unique talents and expertise
of that community.
