About Our School
Vertex Partnership Academies seeks to develop virtuous high school graduates who have acquired the habits, knowledge and sense of personal agency necessary to lead self-determined, purposeful lives of American and global citizenship.
Our vision is to develop internationally-minded, tenacious learners guided by the four cardinal virtues of Courage, Justice, Temperance, and Wisdom.
The founding campus opened in the Bronx in 2022 with only 9 th graders and is serving the 9th -10th graders in the 2023-24 school year.
Vertex will empower each student scholar to choose either: (1) the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program that prepares them to enroll and thrive in premier colleges and universities in the country or abroad; or (2) the International Baccalaureate Careers Program that prepares them to graduate with a professional credential and directly enter the labor market with skills in a variety of high-demand areas.
