District 1 Regents Academy, Saturdays at P.S./M.S. 188

To promote college and career readiness and equity of access,  District 1 established a Regents Academy in 2015-16 to provide all 8th grade students the enrichment opportunity to study high school-level Regents course work.  In 2015-16, the D1 Regents Academy was funded by a $25K Innovation Grant from the Fund for Public Schools.

In 2016-17, the D1 Regents Academy expanded to a larger cohort of forty students who met on Saturdays at P.S./M.S. 188 Island School.  Students studied either Living Environment or Algebra, and every D1 middle school is represented by students in the Academy. 
 Upon completion of the course, 100% of students passed their respective Regents Exams and earned high school credit for their course!  

In 2017-2018, we are excited to launch with our returning teachers, Ms. Apollo and Ms. Begum.  
And welcome to our new Site Director, Cherie Umstead, partnering our team of dedicated teachers and students to ensure a safe, welcoming, and rigorous learning environment each session.  The program is being enriched with new activities including field trips to our Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) friends, the Prospect Park Zoo and the Central Park Zoo, as well as our botany buddies at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  

​
