Academic Programs

At Digital Tech, students are part of a small, selective community that fosters both their academic and creative talents. In addition to offering a rigorous college preparatory program, students acquire the prerequisite skills needed to pursue careers in the fields of digital art, film and technology. Through customized academic programs and personalized instruction, students receive the supports necessary to succeed in college and beyond. In addition to the regular New York City Department of Education graduation requirements, students are expected to complete four years of math, four years of science, four years in their designated arts track, and to participate in community service.

Students in the OneGoal program create and implement the 3-year college success model. The program begins in the junior year of high school and students are given support until they finish their first year of college. Students are supported through methods to increase their GPA's and standardized test scores to access more selective and supportive colleges and identify their best-fit college application lists. The program supports five leadership principles: ambition, integrity, professionalism, resilience and resourcefulness.
