College and Career Readiness

At AGL, we are committed to empowering students by cultivating their unique strengths, skills, and interests. Our mission is to guide each student in crafting a personalized plan that ensures a seamless transition into their post-secondary journey.

Through close collaboration with AGL teachers, staff, and the broader New York community, we provide students with the tools, resources, and exposure necessary to explore and access a wide range of college and career opportunities. This holistic approach equips them to not only identify but also achieve their post-secondary aspirations.

How Students Thrive at AGL:

• Personalized Postsecondary Plans: Every student will graduate with a customized plan that outlines their unique path to success in college or their chosen career.

• College & Career Readiness: Our students are equipped with the critical tools to access social and economic mobility through robust college and career preparation.

• Lifelong Learning & Adaptability: Students will become adaptable, lifelong learners, honing their ability to upskill and reskill to stay ahead in an ever-changing job market.

• Practical Skills for Success: We ensure that students gain both hard (e.g., resume building, interview techniques, typing) and soft (e.g., teamwork, communication, leadership) skills—essential for thriving in today's and tomorrow's job markets.

• Social & Emotional Competence: Students will develop key social and emotional skills (e.g., self-awareness, decision-making, stress management) that empower them to lead with confidence, build meaningful connections, and contribute positively to their communities.

• Aligning Passion with Purpose: Our students will leave AGL with a deep understanding of their interests, skills, and passions, and how these personal attributes connect to their future goals.

By providing an environment where students are encouraged to grow both academically and personally, we set them on a path to not just meet their goals—but to exceed them.
