Hostos-Lincoln Academy of Science at Hostos Community College is a collaboration between the New York City Board of Education and The City University of New York. The academy is modeled after the middle college concept. Students are accepted directly from intermediate and junior high schools in the Bronx and upper Manhattan. The four-year academic program is college preparatory, with most classes culminating in New York State Regents Examinations. Using the College as a resource for classroom instruction as well as a role model, Hostos-Lincoln Academy provides students with enrichment experiences intended to promote their success not only at the secondary level but eventually at the college level as well.

Eligibility for admission to Hostos-Lincoln Academy is based on completion of the NYC high school application and an additional application that is available in the academy counselor's office. The latter form may also be obtained by calling (718) 518-4333. Applicants should have reading and math scores on or close to grade level.

Hostos-Lincoln students are members of the Hostos community and have access to all the facilities of the College, including language, writing, and science labs and the library. They also participate in College clubs, sports, and recreation. Upon completion of required proficiencies, academy students are allowed to take college courses tuition-free and can "bank" these credits toward an associate's degree. All Hostos Lincoln Academy graduates are guaranteed admission to Hostos Community College.
