NYCiSchool is a small nurturing high school that offers a comprehensive college preparatory curriculum with a focus on interdisciplinary study of real-world problems, individualized learning, and on-line coursework. Technology is infused into and believed to be an important aspect of every content area and facilitates the individualized programming and on-line work. NYCiSchool is founded on the beliefs that students learn best by actively doing work that has purpose and meaning, that students thrive on choice and responsibility, and that adolescents need a uniquely structured environment to guide them and help them reach their potential as students and young adults. This video was produced, directed & written by Russ Jolly of 214 Media on behalf of Cisco Systems, Inc. Cisco is a vital partner to the New York City Department of Education and has played a major role in the development of the NYCiSchool. The NYCiSchool opened for classes in September of 2008.
