“Taking classes with college students showed me how different college is from high school. I found new ways to understand the material professors taught in class. I also started to become closer to many of my classmates because we all studied together and assisted each other.”

-Jian Wang (Class of 2016)

One of the extraordinary benefits for students attending Manhattan Hunter Science High School is that their senior year is spent studying on the campus of Hunter College.

Senior year at Hunter College is an intense experience that aims to prepare our students not only for the academic challenges of college life, but the social and emotional challenges as well. Our seniors reap the benefits of taking college courses, earning college credit, and studying college material while still receiving support from our high school staff.

And because of this unique partnership, students attending Manhattan Hunter Science High School who apply to and are accepted to Hunter College, will be offered the opportunity to pursue an undergraduate degree on a tuition free basis.
