The High School For Excellence and Innovation (HSEI) offers students an opportunity to hone their art skills while developing a strong foundation in the arts.

All arts classes are aligned with the College Board and New York State Learning Standards for the Arts.

Our school presents an opportunity for 15- and 16-year old New York City residents entering the 9th grade for the first time. We believe that although these students have been held back two years during elementary and/or middle school, our trimester system and small class sizes will allow the pace and attention for these students to achieve in high school and be prepared for college and 21st century career paths!
