About Our School

Bard High School Early College Newark (BHSEC Newark) opened in September 2011 as a collaboration between Bard College and the Newark Public Schools. BHSEC Newark seeks to demonstrate that an academically rigorous liberal arts program can intellectually engage a diverse group of high school students and better prepare them for success than a traditional high school can. We enable students from underserved middle schools to reach their full intellectual potential and complete a college education.
