What’s Special

Teaching academy and internships; nice selection of AP courses for a small school

The Downside

No auditorium

Named for New York City’s first African American schools chancellor, Richard R. Green High School of Teaching offers a well-rounded high school experience. Students do not need to be interested in teaching to attend. About half are in the Liberal Arts Academy, and all students build communication skills through class discussions, group work, and presentations. The school aims to prepare students for both college and careers.

Students in the Teaching Academy (grades 10–12) complete internships in local elementary, middle, or high school classrooms. Beyond the teaching program, students can participate in internships and partnerships that have included placements at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The New York Historical Society, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. A partnership with Deloitte introduces students to professional and corporate workplaces, and selected students may earn paid summer internships through Code Nation's computer science program.

Most students take four years of math and science. Instruction emphasizes hands-on learning and group work. The school offers a wide range of Advanced Placement (AP) courses for its size, including AP Art History, AP Computer Science, and AP Environmental Science. 

In recent years, the school has improved attendance, graduation rates, and student feedback on the NYC School Survey. One support strategy pairs high-achieving students with students who need extra academic and attendance support. Teachers also use restorative justice practices to help students resolve conflicts through discussion, taking responsibility, and repairing relationships.

The school offers a range of clubs, sports, and activities, including cheer, chess, gaming, and podcasting. It also has a Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA) that meets regularly for LGBTQ students and allies. A drama club helps students build confidence and learn how to hold students’ attention in future teaching careers. The school does not have an auditorium for performances.

Students benefit from strong system of college-going support. They receive after-school tutoring and a weekly SAT and college prep course. Additional support includes mentoring, college visits, help with college applications, and financial and academic resources for high-achieving students. Alumni return each year to speak with students about college and career pathways.

Several teachers are dual certified in special education and subject areas such as math or social studies. (Lydie Raschka, web reports and interview, June 2026)
