Today the Hackensack campus offers seven specialized programs in the areas of math and science, engineering and design, medical science, business and finance, culinary arts and hotel administration, visual and performing arts, and computer science. The Bergen Academies, a working model of restructured education, incorporates a longer school day, employs a distinguished, international faculty, and receives eight  times the number of applications needed to fill new classes. In its rich history, the Academy has an outstanding record of student accomplishments, remarkable because of their depth and scope. Notable school-wide achievements include admittance to the  National Consortium for Secondary STEM Schools (NCSSS) and being recognized as a United States Department of Education Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.
