The Urban Assembly School for Green Careers (UASGC), located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, is a specialized public high school dedicated to integrating sustainability and environmental stewardship into a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum. As part of the Urban Assembly network, the school focuses on "green" themes, offering students unique opportunities to explore careers in environmental science, urban agriculture, sustainability management, and green technology. The school’s mission is to empower students to become informed, active citizens who understand the impact of human activity on the planet and are equipped to develop innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.

Beyond its core academic offerings, UASGC emphasizes hands-on learning through project-based instruction, partnerships with environmental organizations, and real-world internships.
