About

ASA’s modest roots began in 1985 with Alex Shchegol and 12 students in a small Manhattan classroom. Known then as ‘Advanced Software Analysis’, the College focused on computer programming, as New York City had a dire shortage of qualified mainframe programmers at that time. Since then, the college has grown to more than 3000 students, 20 programs of study, and 2 large, centrally-located campuses in midtown Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn as well as one campus in Hialeah, Florida. Today, in addition to computer technology, our programs focus on the rapidly-growing industries of healthcare, business and criminal justice. Over the years, as technology revolutionized how every major industry operates, ASA created and updated programs of study to meet new market needs. Consistent with the demands and capabilities of our stu­dent body, which includes highly motivated and mature immigrants, ASA programs have always featured a “hands-on” training component. In 1999, ASA received authorization from the New York State Board of Regents to confer degrees in accounting, computer programming and information technology and medical assisting. ASA College received initial institutional accreditation from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education in 2010 and received decennial reaccreditation in March 2015. ASA’s Associate Degree program in Medical Assisting is programmatically accredited by the Medical Assisting Education Review Board (MAERB) of the Commission for Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).

"The Learning Street"

 Here are thoughts on the learning street, based within the learning village....

A group of 12 kids meets daily for 2-6 hours, after school. Sometimes the same kids sometimes different kids. Each is accompanied by a parent or guardian to the location - playground, park, theatre, event, activity, museum - where half the adults stay with the kids and half are free to do their own thing. In a long activity some or all the adults might swap over at half time. Essentially it is parent led, but only half of the time by you, half by others. 

The kids do activities, you can be with your child or with other kids, sharing your passions and energy.

There maybe opportunity to eat, perhaps cook even, together at lunch, and or the evening meal, and for the food, other parents are welcome to join and to eat together as a larger group. Its a bit like a vrey friendly parent led kindergarten, school or hort group .... (?)

One afternoon a week up to 12 groups meet at the same venue, a location that can have 144 kids actively engaged in groups of 12, with some overlap, for example Laaberg, Zoo or Westside Soccer.

Once a month, up to 12 groups of 144 get together, somewhere like a theatre, or the Tech Museum.

Once a quarter up to 12 groups of 12x144 get together ( so that all the kids in the village get to mingle with all the other kids in the village ) at a Football Stadium or a concert sound check for example. 

Parents are connected through profiles and online etc, kids also over time online and through yearbooks. 

Collective Wisdom is built and shared 

footnote - YIPPIE has a Positive Education stream, where I posted this " One of my approaches to positive education is that kids who do not fit into normal schooling have the option of joining a Micro Academy, themed around sport, art or music for example. While there, a place they WANT to be, they can also get the full range of education they would get at school. This is based on the example of Mattersburg Football Academy - https://www.aka-burgenland.at/fussballakademie-pid677#id784 "

HomeS'cool Plan

A.....  Complimentary International supportive plan for kids after school in Austria

Micro Academies, like a hort, or afternoon care 

12 kids in a group with parents, half the parents with the kids, 

half free to do co-working or co-learning, so dividing their afternoon between kids and work, while both seeing their kids grow and sharing their passion, skills and knowledge with other kids in the group 

7 day program, from 2 to 7 hours per day. Giving kids the option to take part for up to say 21 hours per week. Or if 42 hours, allowing parents a 21 hour working week and 21 hours with kids. 

Once a week 8 groups of 12 get together for half a day at venues 

such as fun4kids, Westside Soccer, or a summer pool.

Once a month 6 groups of 144 get together , 864 kids 

at a suitable venue, perhaps a theatre 

and once a quarter, 12 or 24 groups of 864 get together, 

at a venue like Rapid Stadium, Wien Messe or Stadthalle  

all kids and parents have a simple one page profile of their 

learning plan , backgrounds and smart goal, enabling facilitation of 

sub groups like a tennis game, chess group or coding club to form, 

as well as meaningful friendships across a wide social group
