The Urban Assembly Media High School draws on the media, in all its forms, to excite students about their education, examine complex issues that span diverse subject areas, draw connections between classroom instruction and real-life activities, and prepare students for college and professional careers. By analyzing and producing media—including radio, television, film, photojournalism and advertising—students become effective communicators, informed citizens and critical thinkers.
