Cyberarts Studio Academy

Cyberarts Studio Academy, also known as Secondary School for Journalism, is a high school located on the John Jay Campus in Park Slope, Brooklyn. It offers a distinctive Cyberarts curriculum encompassing digital media, graphic design, computer science, film, photography, and digital music, alongside a rigorous academic program that integrates STEM, Design Thinking, and liberal arts. The school emphasizes small group learning and restorative justice practices within a supportive and diverse community. Students benefit from Advanced Placement courses, a partnership with CISCO for cybersecurity and IT electives, and the opportunity to earn college credits through St. Francis College. The school also participates in a Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship pilot program. Parents consistently report high satisfaction with the school environment and relationships. While the school's attendance rate is well above the citywide median, its college enrollment rate is below the citywide 25th percentile, and some Regents exam pass rates are a concern. Students and parents often describe a close-knit atmosphere where teachers are dedicated and passionate, fostering a sense of belonging.
