When you come to register at Liberty High School Academy for Newcomers, you will meet one of our Guidance Counselors. During the meeting, the counselor will ask you several questions about yourself to determine if Liberty is the right fit for you. They also determine your academic program based on your English language proficiency. It is important that you bring your academic transcripts from your country if you have them. If you are accepted, you will need to provide those records so you counselor can grant you credit. If you speak no English, we will find a translator for you to communicate your needs and hopes at registration. If Liberty is not the right fit for you, the counselor will suggest other educational opportunities either at another transfer school or adult education program around New York City.
