Judith S. Kaye High School, located at 321 East 96th Street in Manhattan, is a specialized New York City public school designed to serve older students—typically ages 17 to 21—who have previously left the traditional school system without earning a diploma. Operating as a "Transfer School," the institution is part of a collaborative partnership with the Department of Education and various community-based organizations. It provides a supportive, personalized environment intended to help students overcome past academic or personal challenges, offering flexible scheduling and small class sizes that cater to students balancing work, parenting, or other external responsibilities.

The school’s curriculum is specifically geared toward credit recovery and accelerated graduation, emphasizing a "mastery-based" approach where students earn their diplomas through project-based learning and individualized support plans. By focusing on social-emotional development alongside academics, Judith S. Kaye aims to provide a "second chance" for its students, preparing them not just for graduation, but for post-secondary success in college or the workforce. The atmosphere is generally noted for being nurturing and focused on building strong relationships between students and faculty to ensure that every learner remains on track to meet state graduation requirements.
