- Organization Profile
The East-West School of International Studies trains students to become experts in an Asian culture and language while preparing for a career in an international world. Our core competencies are English, math, science, technology, and language. East-West students will graduate with a Regents diploma, proficiency in an Asian language, and the ability to use technology as a tool for lifelong learning and communication in preparation for college success.
We believe that the Asian arts (calligraphy, anime, film, etc.), history, sports (tai chi, martial arts, and meditation), business opportunities, and technology hold significant interest for New York City students. For these students, Asian culture provides a unifying theme to their high school careers to motivate them to deeper studies and to keep them focused on graduating high school with a world view.
The East-West School will prepare New York City students of all racial and socioeconomic backgrounds for a four-year college and for a productive professional life working with cultures beyond their own. We also believe that a focus on Asia can help students develop guiding values such as community, discipline, high standards, and perseverance.
East-West is a small comprehensive 6-12 school inspiring students to explore the world at large, yet having a special focus on Asian language and culture. The school will have an emphasis on the guiding values of self discipline, community, high standards, and perseverance.
Together, we create opportunities for our students' success.
