About The Marcy Lab School:
The Marcy Lab School is an innovative postsecondary school based in Brooklyn, NY. We've designed a tuition-free, yearlong academic model designed to prepare high-achieving young adults from underserved backgrounds for full-time careers in software engineering. We are an alternative to traditional higher education for students who face financial barriers or for those who are simply looking for a unique experience better suited to their interests.
After one year, Marcy Lab School graduates (like Shemar!) go on to earn an average of approximately $103,000 per year to write software for companies like Asana, Samsung, Spotify, and Squarespace. We are able to offer this opportunity to our students free-of-charge thanks to support from corporations and foundations such as Microsoft, JP Morgan Chase, and the Cognizant Foundation.
