School of the Future (New York City)
School of the Future is a public secondary school located at 127 East 22nd Street at Lexington Avenue, in the Gramercy Park neighborhood of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. It serves grades 6 through 12 and is a part of the New York City Department of Education, and accepts students from citywide. The School of the Future, a small school, was founded in 1990 with funding by Apple Inc. with an admissions process dependent on student application and interview. It is a member of the Coalition of Essential Schools, a league of schools dedicated to small class sizes and student-centered learning. In 2005, School of the Future was chosen as a national mentor school of CES as part of a Gates Foundation funded effort to improve schools nationwide.
==Curriculum==
Classes are sometimes taught through a two-year curriculum; students may have some of their teachers for two academic years. The high school follows a block schedule and students have a full day of classes for their entire stay at the school. Graduation requires four years of Humanities (English and Social Studies primarily, with occasionally courses from other disciplines such as Philosophy and Visual Arts); four years of Math and Science; and two years of foreign language (Spanish). The juniors and seniors are considered the "Senior Institute" which provides more choice to students in their studies, allowing them to pick from an array of Humanities courses. The Math sequence consists of Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II/Trigonometry, and Statistics/Pre-calculus/Calculus in the 12th grade. The Science sequence includes Biology, Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, Food Science and Physics. Students can choose to take elective classes in a variety of subjects: art, science, math, Computer Science and Spanish. Students must demonstrate technology proficiency in their regular classes. The school’s advisory program serves as a family group and guidance resource. The classes, especially the homework, have been criticized as "busy work" and "not challenging", and has also been criticized for its focus on organization at the expense of other skills.
