We partner with NY Public High Schools to provide an enrichment program that targets the whole scholar. From self discovery to college selection, our community gets to know the students as humans and scholars to help support them on their academic journey to greatness.

ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT

Year Round Zoom-Based STEM/MATH, ELA and Leadership Classes to bridge the academic gap and to expose students to a college seminar type classroom.

STEM/MATH includes math fundamentals, problem solving, culinary math & food labs, math with nature and biology labs and cultivating a culture of curiosity and inquiry.

ELA includes learning through reading (fiction & non-fiction), higher level discussion, evidence-based writing and argument creation.

Leadership & Life Skills includes college awareness, professional guest speakers and life skills such as active note taking, email etiquette, interview skills, and the power of effective communication.

COLLEGE ACCESS

Our college access starts with readiness in 10th grade. We expose students to the application process and introduce them to colleges across the country. We work closely with students to help them with standardized tests, scholarships, essays, interviews, FAFSA, and submitting applications.

Students are supported throughout the process to help them discover their next chapter after high school.

MENTORSHIP

At Scholars, we focus on the WHOLE person. Each student is paired with a mentor to help guide, teach life skills and support with extracurricular activities. Mentors stay connected with scholars from high school through college to help ensure success in post-secondary education.

Our mentors meet with scholars weekly to read & discuss current events, discuss, apply for extracurriculars, help with homework or to be a trusted friend in their corner.

CHANGE AGENCY

Gotham Scholars is a community that teaches the importance of service and giving back. Throughout the year we work together to support our community. And after graduating, college scholars come back to share their experiences with our community.

And finally, it is our hope that post-college scholars will continue to serve & help others to lift their entire community.
