We Translate the Values of The New York Times into Educational Programs
We seek to bring together a diverse group of intellectually curious people whose varied backgrounds make for a wide range of views and perspectives. We place students in an engaging, informative and inspiring setting. Together we take on the critical issues and problems of the day with the analytical skepticism of a news reporter. We teach with the goal that the lessons learned will withstand students’ lifelong pursuit of truth and civic engagement.
We Are Committed to Diversity
We believe that diversity in all its forms – in opinions and ideas, in cultures and countries, as well as in the races, religions, sexual orientations and backgrounds of our students – is integral to education.
As such, our students have investigated the Black Lives Matter movement. They’ve practiced the art of interviewing to learn the stories of Holocaust survivors. They’ve reported on the challenges of covering current events like the 2020 election and the impact of COVID-19. All while studying under reporters, editors and other experts who guide and empower students to find their own unique voices.
