UNITED CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE HUMANITIES II

New Visions Charter High School for the Humanities II (HUM II), located in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the Bronx, is a public charter school committed to providing a rigorous, inquiry-based education. As part of the New Visions network, the school emphasizes a college-preparatory curriculum that integrates humanities-focused instruction with critical thinking and literacy skills. The school aims to create a supportive, small-school environment where students are known well by their teachers and encouraged to take ownership of their academic and personal development.

Beyond core academics, HUM II places a strong emphasis on post-secondary success, providing students with structured guidance for college and career planning. The school’s model is built on data-driven instruction and high expectations, striving to ensure that all students—regardless of their starting point—graduate prepared for the demands of university-level work. By fostering a community rooted in collaboration and restorative practices, the school seeks to empower students to become engaged, reflective citizens who are capable of navigating and improving their local and global communities.
