We are dedicated to serving all students: recent high school graduates; returning college students; adult learners, including those who already have a job, but need to complete specialized courses or training to advance their career or secure a new position; and the student who recently arrived on Long Island, who is learning English and figuring out life in a new country. In every instance, our most important obligation is to make certain each student has the best educational experience possible.
