By integrating an emphasis on literacy and arts in each of its instructional programs, the Urban Assembly School of Music and Art teaches its students to think critically and garner a greater appreciation for the humanities. The school is located in the historic neighborhood of Downtown Brooklyn on Flatbush Avenue. UAMA serves students in grades ninth through 12th and offers art integration and college-prep programs. Its partnership with Bard Early College Academy gives the school’s juniors and seniors the opportunity to earn tuition-free dual enrollment credits at Bard College alongside their high school diploma. The school places a heavy emphasis on arts education, making it an excellent option among the Urban Assembly schools for students looking to pursue a career within this field. One example is the school’s Extended Studio. This program gives students the chance to take art electives that professional artists teach during their typical school day.

I like the small friendly environment. All the teachers know all the kids on a first name basis for the most part. They offer AP classes as early as sophomore year. There are many clubs to join. However no sport teams.

Some teachers at this school try more than others to help them at struggling moments. You can always set an appointment with some teachers to talk about your grades and figure out a way to help the student pass with good grades.
