Our mission is to open every door possible for our students. With a commitment to student-centered education, our vision is to provide a nurturing, creative, and challenging academic program that meets the unique needs of all students. Our dedication to maintaining small class sizes enables personal relationships and allows teachers and advisors to make meaningful connections with every student, fostering a culture of safety, support, and belonging.
At NY.ICE we develop independent thinkers through collaborative work, authentic problem-solving and inquiry-based projects. Students take risks, test theories, and learn from their hands-on experiences.
Upon graduation, we expect NY.ICE students to be a force in the world, ready to thrive in the academic, creative, social, and intellectual journeys that await them in college and beyond.
The Department of Education offers an HIV/AIDS prevention program as part of an ongoing comprehensive health education program.
In addition, all high school students in grades 9-12 are permitted to request free condoms at their school. As a parent or guardian, you may ask the school not to give your child condoms. This is referred to as a parent opt-out.
If you would like an opt-out letter, please see the attachment.
Last Call
Seniors are going on the first history field trip Monday, January 30th to study the Civil Rights Movement! So this is the last call for sweatshirts. In order to raise money for the trip, students hosted a very successful Chipotle fundraiser. Additionally, a group of seniors designed an ICE sweatshirt to sell to the ICE community.
If you would like to place an order for the sweatshirt, please fill out the order form attached. The price of each sweatshirt is $25. Jehan will accept orders for sweatshirts until February 10th and they will not be available again until next year! Please note that Jehan will be out of the office all next week because of the trip. She will return February 6th.
Thank you to all who have supported the seniors in their fundraising efforts.

We shouldn’t be surprised, but we should be ashamed: elected representatives cut support for higher education; sticker prices rose; teenagers and others applied for admission, signed up for debt and, in many cases, finished their degrees. Then came the bombardment of confusing loan and repayment options.
