Urban assembly New York Harbor School

An unusual high-school experience rises above the harbor’s edge. Students here snorkel local waters, raise oysters on vertical racks, and chart tugboat traffic as casually as others solve physics equations. The city’s tides become the textbook; the East River delivers daily lessons in ecology and engineering. Directions point you to 10 South St, New York, NY 10004—right at the toe of Manhattan where the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges brace the skyline. Stepping inside (or down the pier) you’ll find marine labs cheek-by-jowl with classrooms where coding merges with climate data and students design underwater robots. They study aquaculture and maritime policy, compete in robotics, publish original research, and earn college credits before graduation. Internships spin into jobs at local labs, oceanographic outposts, and green-tech start-ups scattered along the waterfront. Call (917) 903-6300 to arrange a visit and walk the decks of their floating classroom moored just outside.
