5ds agoA new charter school is opening its doors in Mount Vernon
next week.
The Intellectus Preparatory Charter School will be the first
such institution to open in the Hudson Valley in 10 years.
The school will welcome sixth- and seventh-grade students
beginning Monday, with plans to include those at the high school level in the
future.
Founder and CEO Kenyah Miller says she believes "we
have a responsibility to not only make sure that we are educating our students,
but preparing them socially and emotionally."
Miller says the school will focus on hands-on learning,
financial literacy, and mental health counseling.
While a majority of the students are from Mount Vernon, the
school is accepting new students from across the state.
