CITY COLLEGE ACADEMY OF THE ARTS
City College Academy of the Arts (CCAA) is a unique, small secondary school located in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. Operating in partnership with The City College of New York (CCNY), the school is designed to bridge the gap between high school and higher education. CCAA serves students in grades 6 through 12, offering a specialized academic environment that prioritizes college readiness and rigorous intellectual development.
The hallmark of the CCAA experience is its "early college" model, which provides students with the opportunity to earn a significant number of college credits—or even an Associate’s degree—concurrently with their high school diploma. By integrating secondary education with college-level coursework at CCNY, the academy aims to prepare students for the challenges of post-secondary life while fostering a culture of academic achievement and artistic exploration. The school emphasizes a holistic approach, blending core academic standards with elective arts programming to support well-rounded student growth within a supportive, community-focused setting.
