As part of the journalism program, students write articles, publish newspapers, participate in authors' studies and learn word processing skills. In the law track, students role play Supreme Court hearings, congressional floor debates and sessions advising the President on domestic issues. There are internship programs where students work with judges, lawyers and journalists. Students are active participants in a program which helps them to communicate their ideas effectively, examine critical issues, make decisions and develop a general interest in learning. Last year, our students achieved first place in the Mock Trial competition sponsored by the Brooklyn District Attorney's office.
Students also have the opportunity to participate in band, chorus, step-team and mentoring.
Many of our students attend the Mathematics and Science Institute at Stuyvesant High School where they receive training in taking the Specialized High School examination. Our goal is to give our students the very best education and to prepare them to attend the finest high schools in the city. The Crown School for Law and Journalism is not for everyone. The work is demanding, so students and their parents must be willing to contribute the time and effort necessary to achieve maximum results. The rewards, however, are great.
