About Us

Our Story

Cambria Heights Academy is a small public school in Queens, New York that opened its doors in September 2010 to an incoming class of eighty 9th graders. We were founded with the mission to use technology as a tool to engage students, enrich content, and individualize and differentiate instruction. We embed technology into our curriculum to challenge students with academically-rigorous coursework, hands-on experiential learning, authentic problem-solving skills, and college-level writing and mathematical thinking. We are currently located above St. Gerard Magella Church on 91st Avenue in Hollis, Queens.

Mission Statement

Cambria Heights Academy is a small, public high school focused on building community. We pride ourselves on creating opportunities for students to engage with technology meaningfully. Our CTE Program in software engineering molds young men and women into creative, experienced problem-solvers and critical thinkers. Our students receive a highly personalized and rigorous education through consistent academic and social supports, including a rich advisory program, a variety of AP and college courses, work-based learning experiences, and community service opportunities. Our students will be the leaders and innovators of the next generation.
