The Urban Assembly School for Criminal Justice promotes the use of evidence and reasoning to make coherent and logical arguments. Our students understand that evidence is necessary to convict someone of a crime. At UASCJ, our students learn that this kind of evidence-based thinking is necessary in all fields: writing a persuasive essay, proving a scientific hypothesis and understanding historical events.

Our students hail from over 30 different elementary schools
throughout Brooklyn.
92% of our students participate in at least one of our after school clubs: Photography, Drama, Chorus, Technology Club, Fashionistas, Civil Rights Today, Money Me, World Wise, a literary magazine, Math Club, Book Club, Art Studio and Softball.
Sixteen different countries - from Jamaica to Ecuador to Pakistan - are represented in our student body.
In keeping with our mission of college success, each of our classes are named for top universities such as Wellesley, Duke, Northwestern and Smith.
We are participating in Expanded Learning Time, a pilot after school program funded through TASC.
