TECHNOLOGY ARTS AND SCIENCES STUDIO SCHOOL

TECHNOLOGY ARTS AND SCIENCES STUDIO SCHOOL is a Title I public middle school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT # 1 school district, located in NEW YORK, NY with about 107 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th 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 11 teachers, TECHNOLOGY ARTS AND SCIENCES STUDIO SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. 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 **TECHNOLOGY ARTS AND SCIENCES STUDIO SCHOOL (TASS)**, located at 185 1st Avenue in Manhattan’s East Village, is a specialized educational institution focused on integrating digital technology, the arts, and scientific inquiry. Housed within the larger neighborhood school complex (often associated with P.S. 19/The Asher Levy School), the institution is designed to provide students with a modern, project-based curriculum that emphasizes creative problem-solving and technical literacy. By blending traditional academic subjects with studio-based learning, the school aims to prepare students for a rapidly evolving workforce that increasingly demands proficiency in both the humanities and STEM disciplines.

The school’s environment is characterized by a "studio" philosophy, where classrooms function more as collaborative workshops than traditional lecture halls. This approach encourages students to engage in hands-on experiences, utilizing technology as a tool for artistic expression and scientific experimentation. By fostering an atmosphere of innovation and interdisciplinary study, the TECHNOLOGY ARTS AND SCIENCES STUDIO SCHOOL seeks to nurture students’ critical thinking skills and technical aptitude, ensuring they are well-equipped to tackle complex challenges in both their secondary education and future professional lives.
