Northside Charter High School was authorized and granted a charter in 2009 from the Board of Regents of the State of New York as part of the Believe High School Network. On March 13, 2017, the School was granted a third charter term extending through June 30, 2022 based on a five-year strategic plan which will strengthen our outcomes for students, create an environment that is nurturing for students and staff alike, and build upon the strong governance, financial, and operational foundation that NCHS has worked so hard to create. This includes initiatives to increase rigor and alignment of academic programs to student needs and deficits and also provide additional supports to students through lowered teacher:student ratios, additional teaching models, online learning opportunities, and development of our overall program.
