Urban Academy Laboratory High School
- Urban Academy Laboratory High School
The Urban Academy Laboratory High School is a small, progressive, alternative high school located on the Upper East Side of New York City.
Founded in 1986, its goal was to create a place where students could learn in a nontraditional sense. The classes, for example, are mostly all based on discussion. Students tend to sit in a circle and talk about articles and documents to reach their conclusions on them.
Contrary to popular belief upon first hearing the name of the school, the Urban Academy is not a private school. However, one does have to go through an admissions process that is particular to the school.
The school is extremely diverse, with students from almost every single socioeconomic background calling it their home.
The school's current (and only ever) Principal is Herb Mack. Ann Cook, his wife, serves as the Vice-Principal.
