Fort Hamilton High School (GRASP)
Smith, Frederick
The Fort Hamilton High School (GRASP) Program in New York City was designed to offer bilingual instructional and supportive services to approximately 200 students who were Greek, Arabic, or Spanish. The program was intended for students considered dominant in their respective native languages. The program was set in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn in Fort Hamilton High School. The target population was drawn from grades nine through twelve. Students selected for the program received a curricular package containing native language instruction in the dominant languages, English as a second language, and instruction in mathematics, science and social studies. Other planned aspects of the program included provisions for staff development, parental involvement, and curriculum refinement. Results indicated that standardized test information was statistically significant in favor of the program. It was recommended that a systematic approach be undertaken to measure the native language arts skills of the students. (Author/AM)
