United Charter High Schools is committed to academic excellence in a welcoming, safe school environment. We develop, enlighten and challenge a range of learners to critically and creatively solve problems inside their classrooms, in their communities and out in the world. Through a rigorously structured system of teaching and learning, students advance their understanding of science, math and humanities concepts and master content, knowledge and skills, while project-based experiences spark their civic imagination and appetite for advocacy leadership.

At any of our 7 charter high schools (Advanced Math and Science / Humanities) across the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, students receive personalized academic and social emotional support, have access to a range of clubs, sports teams, leadership opportunities and internships, and maintain a focus on college and career readiness.
