THE URBAN ASSEMBLY SCHOOL FOR CAREERS IN SPORTS is a high school for students who want to explore careers in sports-related fields such as broacasting, journalism, sports management, sports medicine, sports marketing, sports law and much more.

THE URBAN ASSEMBLY SCHOOL FOR CAREERS IN SPORTS features a "school to career" internship program where students get hand-on experience in the fields of their choice.

The school's philosophy is "less is more." Students are placed in heterogeneous classes, where they collaborate and learn from each other. The thematic curriculum is hands-on and project-based.

The curriculum focuses on particular themes, which allow for critical thinking and understanding in depth. Extended class time enables the students to engage in class activities and assures for more time on tasks.

The smaller class size, the even smaller advisory groups, and the annualized schedule of classes help build relationships between teachers and students. Each student is placed in an advisory group that meets three times a week. That advisor is responsible for monitoring the student's progress and communicating with the student's family on a weekly basis.
