Academy-Stenotype-Stenograph

Court reporting schools are rare in the city, especially ones that have held their ground for generations. Academy-Stenotype-Stenograph sits at 15 Park Row, a stretch of Lower Manhattan where old brick facades still whisper stories of the trade. The neighborhood, once the newspaper capital of the world, now hosts a mix of financial towers and historic buildings—an apt setting for a program that bridges tradition with modern transcription demands. They train students in real-time captioning, legal transcription, and broadcast captioning, skills that keep courtrooms and live events running smoothly across the five boroughs.

Reaching them is simple enough; directions are just a click away on the map. If you’d rather call first, the number is (212) 962-0002. The school’s presence on Park Row feels like a quiet nod to the city’s layered history—one more institution holding its own amid the constant hum of change.
