APPLIED TECHNOLOGY HIGH SCHOOL

Applied Technology High School is a public high school that is part of the Bergen County Vocational Technical School District school district, located in Paramus, NJ with about 90 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 5 teachers, Applied Technology High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Applied Technology High School (ATHS), located on the campus of Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey, is a specialized public high school that operates as part of the Bergen County Technical Schools district. The school is designed to bridge the gap between secondary education and professional industry standards. By integrating a rigorous academic curriculum with hands-on technical training, ATHS provides students with a unique environment that mirrors a collegiate and professional workplace.

A defining feature of the school is its partnership with Bergen Community College, which allows students the opportunity to earn college credits while completing their high school requirements. The curriculum focuses heavily on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields, utilizing a "school-within-a-college" model. This approach aims to prepare students for either immediate entry into the workforce or advanced studies in technical disciplines, equipping them with both the theoretical knowledge and practical experience necessary to succeed in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
