What’s Special
Learn to cook, put on a mock trial, or write poetry
The Downside
Many students have a lot of catching up to do
At the Cultural Academy for Arts & Sciences (CAAS), students may cook with a professional chef, learn about the law by putting on mock trials, or read their own poetry at Brooklyn Academy of Music, according to the school website.
Culinary arts students run a school café, learning how to plan a menu, cook and market the café. The Brooklyn Academy of Music offers classes during the school day and after school.
Most students enter with poor academic skills, and, while about two-thirds graduate within four years, others need more time.
CAAS shares the Tilden Educational Campus with other small schools. Students must pass through metal detectors to enter the building.
Admissions: In recent years the school has had room for all applicants. (Clara Hemphill, August 2018)
