Teachers post assignments and resources, and sometimes ask or allow students to submit assignments, through Google Classroom. Students can post comments to teachers with questions regarding assignments, upcoming quizzes/tests, or resources.

Explorations

Two times each year, MS 915 students engage in a deep, two-week study of one of our planet’s problems.  Students read, talk to experts in the field, interact with the community, and visit some of the many cultural, historical, and educational institutions of New York City.  Our exploration units make learning real and meaningful for our students and help us achieve our goal of preparing students to be creative and critical thinkers who have a positive impact on our planet.
