Description

Academies at Englewood was founded in 2002 after fifteen-plus-years of arguments between the Board of Education of Englewood and the Board of Education of Tenafly and the Board of Education of Englewood Cliffs. Dr. John Grieco created the new academies at Englewood to improve city classrooms and attract white students.

The academies are Finance and Business, Information Systems, Law and Public Safety, and Pre-Engineering. The last, BioMedicine was added in 2004. It shares a campus with Dwight Morrow High School.
