Brandeis High School and Manhattan Theater Lab in Manhattan, and Bronx International High School in the Bronx. The Adolescent Post-Secondary Education Exchange (APEX) Program supports a clearly articulated pipeline to college for disadvantaged students, the majority of whom are Black and Latino/a and the first generation in their families with the opportunity to go to college.
