IN THEIR OWN WORDS
Focusing on developing critical thinkers and student leaders, we stress a curriculum of science, mathematics, and humanities that encourages students to explore, create, imagine and lead. Through our partnership with Johns Hopkins University's Talent Development High Schools, Abraham Lincoln High School offers a Small Learning Communities (SLC) model. Our SLC model features a block schedule in which teams of teachers meet with a guidance counselor to track each student's academic performance. Lincoln provides students with the individualized attention of a small school, as well as the assets, resources, and facilities of a large educational complex. For over 75 years, Abraham Lincoln High School has been a leader in New York City education. Our campus offers a state-of-the-art photography studio, two animal science labs, computer labs, spacious grounds and a pool. Our extensive elective course offerings, including Advanced Placement and College Now classes, empower our academic achievers to complete up to a year of college credit during their secondary studies. Lincoln is the school where gifted students have the opportunity to excel.
