Congratulations on your acceptance to Bard High School Early College (BHSEC) Manhattan. We are delighted that you will be joining us in the fall.
We start the fall semester with a Writing and Thinking Workshop where you will work closely with a small group of students and one of our teachers. You will learn to read and listen more thoughtfully, to articulate ideas: to review your own work critically and, most basically, to recognize the link between thought and expression.

Acceptance Notification
Families and middle schools will begin receiving High School Admissions Matches to be determined by the NYC Department of Education. The Office of Student Enrollment will notify families by email that they can log into their child’s MySchools account to view their child’s high school admissions offer. Check your MySchools account or contact your guidance counselor for assistance. You may also visit the NYC Department of Education website for more information.
We will send out a welcome email to matched students with information about the online virtual event with current students, after the DoE sends out notifications. The online event will be in early June. We will try to use both the email that families used to sign up for our assessment and the email supplied by the Department of Education if it is different. Please check your email after the NYC Department of Education sends out match notifications.

For Volleyball athletes, It is important to note this update from the PSAL….As a reminder, PSAL high-risk sports include football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, lacrosse (boys), stunt, and rugby. Vaccination will also be required for participation in bowling, because while not a high-risk sport, it takes place in spaces that require vaccination.
In addition, this is an informational form regarding Concussions. Please review this and be aware of Concussion symptoms. This will also be given to athletes during the year.
