Next Generation
“The land between.”
Nuasin
From Metropolitan Lighthouse to Nuasin Next Generation
The name Nuasin Next Generation Charter School was chosen by our community in 2020. "The Wappinger Confederacy, the tribe located here before European colonization, called the hill that the school is on "Nuasin," or "the land between," for its location between the Harlem River and an estuary along modem-day Jerome Ave. "Next Generation" highIights the advanced methods of learning and engagement and our school's primary focus on developing the future generation of scholars to leaders. The next generation will need skills that go above and beyond what is typically taught in school. This part of our name shares our focus on developing both hard and soft skills for scholars to read to lead. Education is always about preparing the next generation for greatness.
