Hunter's point middle School (+playlist)



The Hunters Point Community Middle School was established in 2013, Hunters Point Community Middle School is a
school with an ecological focus and a hands-on approach. Principal
Sarah Goodman says that the school makes use of the nearby waterfront
and the surrounding community to provide hands-on learning opportunities
for students. Students make regular visits to the waterfront and
participate in activities such as water testing. Goodman, who studied
urban river education programs as an environmental studies student at
Brown University, incorporates the East River into the school’s
curriculum. Students work in small advisory groups to explore different
environmental, social, or arts-based themes.


The school is housed in a newly constructed building located at 1-50 51st Avenue that is part of the city's Hunters Point South Development. Hunters Point Community Middle School share the new building with the Academy for Careers in Television and Film
and the Riverview School, a 6-12 District 75 program. Situated near the
East River, the new building features science labs, an auditorium, and
music and art classrooms.  (reference text taken from the school website)
