Maxwell CTE High School boasts a Career and Technical Education curriculum aligned with college and career readiness. Currently, our student must satisfy two credits in the arts. We have a full-time teacher of visual arts, who teaches art history and visual arts to all 9th grade students. We also have a full-time teacher of graphic communication media who teaches 10th and 11th grade students whose CTE Major is communications media. These two programs currently serve to cover visual arts for our students. Other arts education opportunities have been provided in theater by teachers in our English department collaborating with Broadway Theater Company to provide theater workshops for teachers and students who also attend Broadway shows: Hamilton and And Juliet, this year. Our students were also provided extracurricular opportunities in the arts after school. Dance, music, and chorus were taught and advised by staff who possess abilities in these arts disciplines. We also received funding form NYCDOE Project PIVOT and hired The Arts Empowerment Group to provide dance instruction in after school andSaturday School in Salsa, Hip Hop and Jazz Dance. We will continue to collaborate with Broadway Theater Company and look for another Art Organization to provide music and dance this year. We plan to provide professional development to our teachers in order to integrate arts instruction across curricula areas.

Fashion: Maxwell offers a thorough fashion program that provides students with practical training in the techniques, skills, and terminology of Fashion Design and Accessories, covering the entire journey from concept to conception. Students can work alongside industry professionals. Students create garments following experience level and assign themes to participate in fashion shows, exhibits, as well as various parades in NYC. Through their time in the program, they visit museums for archival fashion exhibitions, volunteer in fabric recycling centers, and intern with community designers or the schools’ design lab. Communications Media: Our comprehensive 2-year graphic design program immerses students in photography, illustration/drawing, and social media management. The curriculum culminates with students taking the Adobe Photoshop certification exam at the end of the 10th grade and the Adobe Premier Pro at the end of the 11th grade, validating their proficiency by receiving these industry-recognized certifications. Graduates emerge as versatile, industry-ready professionals equipped for the competitive field of graphic design.
