HIGH SCHOOL ACCESS
Find the Right High School for You
About the Program
High School Access (HSA) academically prepares sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade students to navigate the New York City high school application process. After completing an academic profile, members and their families will meet with education staff to evaluate academic goals and high school prospects. BCNY will then recommend programs, scholarship opportunities and academic support services based on academic goals and high school aspirations.
BCNY advocates on behalf of its members and connects parents, teachers, and students with schools in an attempt to improve student outcomes.
“BCNY instills confidence in members, supporting their belief in their ability to succeed and persevere. Members also become part of the alumni network that continuously offers guidance as they become future leaders, ensuring BCNY’s impact is lifelong.”




Family Academy
In addition to teachers and counselors, parents are a pivotal part of student progress. BCNY is proud to present the HSA Family Academy Parent Workshop Series, which will support members and families as they navigate the best high school options for their 8th graders.
