OUR MISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN CENTRAL TO OUR FOCUS AS WE DEVELOP ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IN BOTH SPANISH AND ENGLISH, PREPARING OUR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO EXCEL IN COLLEGE. IN THE SCHOOL YEAR 2022-23 WE CONTINUED TO CONCENTRATE ON CULTIVATING A HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHING STAFF, IMPROVING OUR STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES AND FINE-TUNING A SUPPORTIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. WE CONTINUED TO OPERATE A SUCCESSFUL AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM. OUR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM INCLUDED HOMEWORK HELP, SPORTS, SCIENCE OLYMPIAD, GIRLS ON THE RUN TO NAME A FEW. WE CONTINUED OFFERING AFTER SCHOOL PARENT WORKSHOPS AND BUILDING A STRONG COMMUNITY THROUGH REGULAR MONTHLY MEETINGS WITH PARENTS AND THE PRINCIPAL CALLED "CAFECITO CON DA DIRECTORA." DURING THE 2022-23 WE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL INSTRUCTION, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, AND FAMILY SUPPORT.

AS A RESULT, ADS IS A SPLIT CAMPUS SCHOOL WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADES CO-LOCATED IN A NYC DOE BUILDING AND HIGH SCHOOL GRADES LOCATED IN PRIVATE, RENTED SPACE. | Desc |
