![]() If 0 students were enrolled in a course at this school, that course will display as “not offered” for that year. If you see annual enrollment rates above 25%, that may mean students are taking more than one course in a given subject over the course of 4 years, for example, Regents-level Physics and AP-level Physics. If every student took each course once over the course of 4 years, we would expect to see annual enrollment rates around 25%. (Clara Hemphill, September 2018 admissions update, 2022) Read moreĭata notes: The data shows what percent of all students in Grades 9-12 were enrolled in each type of course during one school year. There are a few team-teaching classes in the high school. SPECIAL EDUCATION: The school offers both “push in” and “pull out” special education teacher support services (SETSS). The Institute for Collaborative Education occupies the 5th floor and part of the 4th floor of the former Stuyvesant High School, which it shares with Health Professions and Human Services High School and a District 75 program for autistic children.Ĭollege acceptances include Brown, Colby, Sarah Lawrence, Yale, the University of Chicago, Cornell, Penn State, Middlebury College, Hampshire College, Bard, Bucknell, and College of the Atlantic. Peter Karp, a former science teacher, became principal in 2012, replacing founding principal John Pettinato who retired after 20 years at ICE. Students have won awards from the NYC Science and Engineering Fair for projects such as one on the effect of transracial adoptions. Seventh-graders take an integrated math/science class called "smath," where they build models of roller coasters and catapults 11th-graders may take statistics and an introduction to neuroscience course that's so popular that a few graduates have gone on to study neuroscience in college. There are some non-traditional activities (like testing the water quality of the Bronx River in a biology class) as well as tried-and-true reading assignments like Macbeth or The Great Gatsby. But there is real learning going on, and kids seem happy and engaged. Kids can be boisterous during class changes. Blue jeans are the rule, on adults as well as kids. Students call teachers by their first names and sometimes use slang when speaking to adults. Seniors have internships, rather than regular academic coursework, for their entire second semester, working at architects' offices, law firms, art galleries and a science research labs at local universities. (Students may arrange to take courses at nearby colleges.) Only two years of high school Spanish are offered. At the same time, course offerings are limited. ![]() ![]() Parents say there is a “family feel to the school” and students get an unusual level of support from the college office. With just 60 or 70 students in each grade, ICE is an intimate place where teachers get to know students well. The small size is both the school’s strength and its weakness. The school is based on the philosophy of the education reformer Theodore Sizer, who believed that small schools that teach a few subjects well are more effective than large schools that attempt to teach many subjects. (Middle school students must take the state English and math tests, and high school student must take the English Regents.) Children are evaluated based on their written essays and oral presentations called portfolios. ICE belongs to a consortium of 30 New York state high schools whose students are exempt from taking most state-mandated Regents exams.
