What The Urban Assembly Institute does

The Urban Assembly Institute of Math and Science for Young Women (UAI) is a single-site, public all-girls secondary school operating under the New York City Department of Education at 283 Adams Street in Brooklyn, New York. The school serves students in grades 6 through 12 with a curriculum centered on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and explicitly targets young women and gender-expansive youth who have been historically underrepresented in STEM fields. UAI is one school within The Urban Assembly network of career-themed public schools, and it supplements its core academic program with a Girls Inc NYC after-school offering, student clubs, PSAL athletics (Eagles/Lady Eagles), social-emotional learning, and a Post-Secondary Office that manages college-readiness programming and partnerships.

The school's operational technology stack is deliberately modest and consumer-grade: Google Classroom for learning management, the Edlio platform for website and school communications, and Zoom for virtual events and parent workshops. UAI recently added a Pre-Nursing Track for incoming 9th graders as a programmatic differentiator. The school's revenue model is entirely public-funding-based: NYC DOE and New York State education funding cover per-pupil operations, no tuition is charged, and only nominal activity fees (e.g., $20 Six Flags trip, $47.74 Villa Roma senior overnight) are collected from families, with financial assistance and a food/clothing pantry available for those in need. Recruitment flows through the NYC DOE MySchools centralized admissions platform (school code L54A) with a maintained waitlist, supplemented by weekly tours, open houses, and a multilingual family newsletter (English, Spanish, Arabic).
