The Laboratory School of Finance and Technology

The Laboratory School of Finance and Technology is proud to be the first US Department of Education Magnet School in New York City for Career Connected Learning! The school sets a high academic bar that challenges students to expand their personal and academic visions of themselves. Students pick an academic focus in finance, technology, or language studies. Through partnerships with outside organizations, students learn by connecting with professionals. The Laboratory School of Finance and Technology has a one-to-one Chromebook program, enabling all students to access technology in the classroom and at home. As a Consortium school, all courses place emphasis on research and writing, culminating in Performance Based Assessment Tasks and students are exempt from Regents Exams in most areas. In 11th/12th grade students have access to paid apprenticeships and work based learning. The school is part of the Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA) pilot, which helps support career readiness for all students. The school also has courses that help ninth and tenth graders explore their career interests and develop readiness skills. Students can apply for apprenticeships in tech, finance, and business, which allows them to earn and learn while in high school.
