Long-time YNY Client NYC Outward Bound Featured in NY Post Article Highlighting Network School’s Perfect Grad Rate

New York Post: ‘Alternative’ school proves it’s possible to be different and successful

—

A Queens public school that doesn’t screen its applicants by test scores — and encourages kids to go outside and explore — just graduated its entire senior class, a feat that has only occurred twice in the city in the past decade.

“We’re built on collaboration,’’ explained Pat Finley, who founded the school with fellow veteran teacher Damon McCord in 2010.

Finley and McCord are co-principals, which is uncommon in public schools.

The school, which includes grades six through 12, is part of the New York City Outward Bound network, which stresses experience-based outdoor learning.
