About US

Manhattan Academy for Arts & Language is a welcoming and diverse high school dedicated to empowering every student to reach their full potential. Located in the heart of New York City, we celebrate the cultures, languages, and perspectives that make our community unique. Our mission is to prepare students for success in college, career, and life through rigorous academics, creative expression, and meaningful connections. We believe that learning extends beyond textbooks; it’s about discovering who you are, embracing others, and building confidence to lead in a global world. At MAAL, students learn in an environment that values inclusivity, respect, and growth. We encourage them to think critically, express themselves through the arts, and use their voices to create positive change. Together, we’re shaping compassionate, open-minded leaders ready to make a difference.
