The Academies at Englewood is a tuition-free college-preparatory public magnet high school in Englewood, New Jersey. The school is organized into five specialized academies in the areas of Medical Science, Business & Finance, Legal Studies, Computer Science, and Engineering & Technology. Founded in 2002, the state-funded college-preparatory school serves students in the ninth to twelfth grades in Bergen County, New Jersey, and was established to attract elite students across the county to an "academically-challenging, high-performing school",[1] as well as raise the standard of public education in Bergen County. The school is commonly referred to as AE, or the Academies, and is part of the Englewood Public School District (formerly part of the Bergen County Technical Schools).[1]
The school requires students in their final year of study to participate in a year-long internship each Wednesday in a field of interest, called Senior Experience. The academy also offers students access to technologies and labs rarely found in a high school setting.[1] There are 18 academic departments at AE: Biology, Medicine, Chemistry, Physics, Business, Economics, Mathematics, Law, Engineering, Technology, English, History, World Language, Music/Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Heath/Physical Education, College Counseling, and Senior Experience. The school is structured similar to a university, with various academic departments, specialized majors, and career and technical education.[1]
