On Election Day, November 7th, DOE public schools were closed and Armory College Prep took 27 students on a day trip to Poughkeepsie, New York. During their visit to Bard College, ACP learned that Bard College has 2,400 students enrolled, a 10:1 student to facilty ratio, and offers more than 1,200 classes.  At SUNY New Paltz ACP learned that it is ranked as one of the top public universities in the region by US News. The students were thrilled to have visited both schools and many plan to add them to their college list.
