COMMUNITY HEALTH ACADEMY OF THE HEIGHTS
 
CLOTH founded the public school Community Health Academy of the Heights (CHAH) in partnership with New Visions for Public Schools, the New York Presbyterian Hospital and the Columbia University Medical Center, in September of 2006.

The curriculum is designed to give middle and high school students the opportunity to prepare for college while gaining experience and knowledge in the health care field. CHAH students learn what health is, how to achieve it and how the health of individuals affects the health of the community -- and vice versa.

Our health care partners provide an exciting range of school-and hospital-based health-related learning opportunities so that students can experience close-up the demands and rewards of the health care professions. Students have work-study, community service and job shadowing opportunities at the hospital and/or under the guidance of health care professionals. Tours, trips and speakers on subjects relating to community and health are also a regular part of the Academy experience.
