Perspectives High School of Technology (TECH) integrates the use of technology throughout our rigorous and relevant college preparatory curriculum, providing students with a competitive advantage in college and beyond. TECH will be moving Fall 2019 to a new state-of the-art campus in Chatham and serves approximately 330 students in grades 9-12.

TECH students take advanced technology courses in a modern computing environment that includes tablet computing, traditional desktops, and both wired/fixed and wireless/mobile thin clients. TECH scholars have the opportunity to graduate with Adobe Software™ certification, externally costing up to $40,000. TECH offers AP classes and Dual Enrollment in partnership with City Colleges. Students can also participate in over 50 afterschool programs and athletic teams.

We also serve grades 6-8 at this campus. Our middle academy teaches through personalized learning, combining tailored classroom instruction with an online curriculum called Summit, which allows students to work at their pace, track their work and receive personalized instruction.
