a New Visions Charter High School
About Us
AMS is part of the New Visions Charter High Schools network.
Our Vision
AMS is a New Visions Charter High School located in the Northwest section of the Bronx. We focus on developing the whole student with our 5 Habits of Mind: managing impulses, persistence, listening with understanding, communicating clearly and applying past knowledge to new situations.
Connect to Your Community
Our scholars are active in their school, campus, and neighborhood communities.
College Readiness
Our rigorous programs lay the groundwork for success in high school, college, and career.
Family Involvement
Our active parent body, the Family School Organization (FSO) Leadership Cabinet, holds workshops every month to update, involve, and engage families as true “thought partners.”
Our Program
AMS scholars learn to solve real-world issues, and develop the literacy, critical thinking, listening and speaking skills they need to communicate easily and persuasively to any audience.
Be Challenged
AMS believes students learn best when they are engaged, working with classmates to develop solutions to problems. In each class, students use a variety of resources to create, present and defend ideas in writing or to an audience.
More Time to Learn
With an extended school day and Summer Bridge program in the 9th and 10th grades, students have more time to learn and succeed in every subject.
Learn Through the Arts
AMS partners with Lincoln Center Education to help scholars develop critical thinking skills by noticing details, making connections, and asking questions. Scholars attend performances and visit art exhibitions to learn how the Arts relate to academics.
Partnerships
AMS partners with local and citywide community organizations to enrich our students’ learning.
