The Downside

Shared space in older facilities

Williamsburg High School of Arts and Technology (WHSAT) is a small school where students can explore computer science and technology. It offers three programs: Digital Media/Web Design, Liberal Arts and Technology, and Spanish bilingual Computer Science and Technology. The school partners with St. Nicks Alliance, which provides mental-health counseling, mentoring, academic enrichment, and help with planning for life after high school. 

Formerly known as the Green School, WHSAT has built a strong focus around technology and computer science. The population has grown steadily over the past decade. Graduation and college readiness rates are climbing, and most students graduate in four years, including English language learners. 

The school uses a trimester schedule, dividing the year into three shorter terms so students can focus on fewer subjects at a time and explore more courses. Teachers emphasize project-based learning, student choice and independence, combining technology, arts and career-connected coursework.

Students enter through one of three programs, all offering standard high school classes and opportunities for college-level work. These programs let students build career skills while keeping college options open. Digital Media is a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program combining academic classes with career-focused training in design and coding. Liberal Arts and Technology combines liberal arts with technology such as video game engineering and web design and is screened based on grades. The Bilingual program supports students developing English and Spanish skills while bringing technology into their classes.

Students gain work experience through internships with companies such as Google, Major League Baseball, and Disney. Field trips connect classroom learning to careers, including visits to the Electrical Industry Training Center to learn about jobs with companies such as Con Edison and the MTA. Students learning English visit the New York Aquarium, while other trips have included the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

The school offers select Advanced Placement and other college level courses. 

Students can also explore creative interests outside their regular coursework. Arts Fest, an annual school event, features student work and activities such as drawing, painting, digital media, screen printing, and live performances.

Students who do not take the full computer science sequence can still take technology courses and gain web development and other technology skills.

St. Nicks Alliance has a strong presence at the school, with its community room staffed by social workers, local college interns, and a youth advocate. The organization provides counseling, parent English classes, housing assistance, summer programs and family activities such as crafts and flower arranging.

WHSAT shares the old IS 49 building, including its gym, cafeteria and outdoor playground, with Lyons Community School and Brooklyn Latin. Sports are campus-wide. 

SPECIAL EDUCATION: Teachers plan lessons with special education and English as a New Language teachers to support students with different learning needs. The school also offers integrated co-teaching (ICT) classes and bilingual instruction. (Laura Zingmond, official reports, September 2026)
