Students who have experienced a range of challenges at their current or past high school -- truancy, academic disconnect, peer issues and other
problems -- often thrive at Olympus Academy.
Olympus Academy specifically serves NY City students 16-21
who are over-age and under-credited. It’s
a transfer school run by a partnership between the NY Center and the NY
City Department of Education.
Our students benefit from extensive academic support as well
as strong social emotional skills training that will prepare them for post-secondary
life.
Olympus Academy provides students a small-personalized
school setting where students can get individual learning opportunities. Students learn to work through paid internships
and small-individualized advisory groups.
The school provides an accelerated credit model that
combines traditional education with on-line curricula. This blended learning model allows students
to earn up to 18 credits a year.
Students are rewarded for successes like credit
accumulation, attendance, and on- the-job good behavior. Rewards and incentives include tutoring, movie
tickets, luncheons, and celebrations.
Olympus Academy operates from 9:15-3:25 pm during the school
year. We provide after-school tutoring,
open gym for youth time and computer lab.
