ACADEMY OF HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM

ACADEMY OF HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM is a Title I public high school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT #17 school district, located in BROOKLYN, NY with about 209 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 13 teachers, ACADEMY OF HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

The **ACADEMY OF HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM (AOHT)**, located at 911 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, is a specialized career and technical education (CTE) high school dedicated to preparing students for the dynamic global travel and hospitality industry. As part of the NAF (formerly the National Academy Foundation) network, the school integrates a rigorous academic curriculum with professional development, offering students unique exposure to business management, tourism operations, event planning, and customer service.

The school is designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and the workplace by offering hands-on experiences, internships, and mentorship opportunities with industry partners. By focusing on essential "soft skills" like communication and leadership, alongside industry-specific certifications, AOHT aims to provide its students with a competitive edge, whether they choose to pursue higher education or enter the workforce immediately upon graduation. Its location in the heart of Brooklyn further allows it to serve as a hub for students interested in tapping into New York City’s massive tourism and service economy.
