About the Program

ACORN’s High School Choice Workshop Series provides middle schools and community-based organizations with free workshops designed to help students and their families make more informed decisions when choosing a high school in New York City.

“The workshop gives students hands-on experience on how to make the right choice on deciding what high schools they want to attend.”

-Guidance Counselor at IS 291

“It stimulates students to give deep though to their high school choices. It informs them in a fun-filled way.”

- Guidance Counselor at IS 172
