The aim of this initiative is to improve student access to high-quality art programs and prepare students for art careers in college and beyond. The project will provide professional development workshops and college readiness to ninth and tenth-grade students. Students must meet selection criteria to qualify, including be registered at ASE, demonstrate an interest in one of the arts, and be low income.   

The Mentoring in Schools Program is an intervention-based model addressing student academic and behavioral issues in NYC public schools. Through social-emotional learning and cognitive behavioral therapy, this program increases student engagement, participation, and attendance, thereby increasing student academic progress and grades. 

Our Arts and Therapy program integrates therapeutic counseling and the arts, such as visual, music, and dance, to enhance the well-being of students.

Our STEM programs include Online Girls of Color Who Code, Virtual Legos for Champions, and the Dream STEM Academy. Learn more about our virtual and in-person STEM programs for the community and for schools.
