Manhattan Comprehensive is a rare, one-of-a-kind public high school serving eight hundred older, diverse and nontraditional students who are between the ages of 17 and 21. Students can attend either night or day classes while working full time and attending to adult responsibilities. Over 90% of the seniors graduate — one of New York City’s highest rates. The Night and Day High School provides people with the chance to get a better job, go on to college and heighten their self-esteem. You will have the opportunity to meet other young adults from around the world and from the inner city, help tutor students, and explore the sights and sounds of The Big Apple.
