AB1 Building will be temporarily offline on Monday, February 9, 2026, due to freezing temperatures causing the sprinkler to malfunction resulting in flooding from the third floor to the basement. All classes scheduled in the AB1 Building will be held remotely. All other buildings are open for regular operations. For students enrolled in AB1-building classes who need access for their remote instruction, there are computers available in the computer labs that will enable you to logon to your class.

Young Adult Borough Center

The Young Adult Borough Center/Learning to Work Center (YABC) is part of the NYC Department of Education’s commitment to provide multiple pathways to graduation for overage and under-credited students, ages 17½ and up. The Learning-to-Work program assists students in overcoming some of the obstacles that impede their progress toward a high school diploma and assists them with pursuing post-secondary employment and/or education. The program provides enhanced academic support and youth development support services, meaningful career and educational exploration experiences, work preparation and skill development, and internships. After students complete all required course work and achieve required scores on the regents examinations, they receive a diploma from their sending school.
