HOSTOS LINCOLN ACADEMY OF SCIENCE AT A GLANCE •

Hostos Lincoln Academy of Science (HLAS) is an early college secondary school, located at 600 St. Ann’s Avenue and Hostos Community College. This partnership between the college and the high school is the oldest in the City of New York, over 25 years! • Originally, the “flagship school” of Alternative Superintendency; cited in 2002 as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, HLAS was born of a collaboration between the Department of Education, Hostos Community College and Lincoln Hospital. A magnet school for young people interested in medical careers, Hostos Lincoln graduated hundreds of students who were state certified in its Medical Assisting Program. • In 2003, the mission of the school was changed and New York City’s first Early College Secondary School was created. In September of 2004, we added our first class of 6th graders destined to earn an Associate’s Degree in Liberal Arts and in June 2011, 32 Hostos Lincoln Academy graduates, most of whom were part of that original sixth grade class, earned Associate Degrees from Hostos Community College, the first such group in New York State history. Since then, over 120 students (approximately a third of each Senior Class for the last five years) have graduated Hostos with both an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts and Regents diplomas. • We currently have 550 students in grades 6-12, all of whom have the opportunity to gain college credit by the time they graduate. Our graduates have earned POSSE, Gates Millennium, Coca Cola and Seinfeld/PENCIL Scholarships. We are a small school with big dreams for your children: that college is a right, responsibility and a reality for each and every one of our graduates.
