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. More than 90% of the twenty-one students who attended Regents Academy last year passed the Regents exam and earned high school credit for their course. 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 meet on Saturdays (and during vacation break) from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. at P.S./M.S. 188 Island School. Students study either Living Environment or Algebra, and every D1 middle school is represented by students in the Academy. Upon completion of the course, students who pass the Regents exam will receive credit towards high school graduation. Fields trips will include visits 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.
Welcome to new site director Tony Toral, who manages the Regents Academy. He partners with our wonderful teachers, Kim Apollo (Algebra) and Sazea Begum (Living Environment), to ensure a safe, welcoming, and rigorous learning environment each session. For more information, contact Director of School Renewal Bryan Glover at bglover@schools.nyc.gov.
Thanks to staff at P.S./M.S. 188 Island School - Principal Suany Ramos, Assistant Principal Rosa Almonte, and secretary Esther Zito - for full support.
