Why Brand Identity
Matters

Credentials & Achievement

One hundred percent of AMS III students graduate on time, every year. The school offers three focused engineering pathways — general engineering, biomedical sciences, and computer sciences — plus AP courses in Calculus AB & BC, Computer Science Principles, Research, and Seminar. Dual enrollment partnerships with Monroe University and St. Francis University give students a genuine head start on college credit before they receive their diploma. Eighty-two percent of AMS III graduates persist three or more semesters in college, surpassing the national average.

Culture & Retention

AMS III is a small school by design. With 265 students and a 1:25 student-to-teacher ratio, every student receives personalized attention from the same team of counselors and administrators from 9th grade through graduation. Advisory periods run daily, keeping the same small group of students together for four years and building the kind of trust and belonging that families remember long after graduation. The nurturing, family-like environment is consistently the top reason families choose and stay at AMS III.

Growth Opportunity

AMS III currently enrolls 265 students against a target of 350 and a full capacity of 400. Grades 9 and 11 have the greatest number of open seats. With a March 31, 2027 application deadline, a 24-hour acceptance turnaround, and a tuition-free model serving Brooklyn families, the school is positioned to welcome at least 85 additional students. A consistent, compelling brand identity turns parent curiosity into scheduled tours and completed applications before seats are filled.

Physical safety and social-emotional wellbeing are both daily priorities.

What is the school culture actually like? AMS III is a nurturing, close-knit community where every student is known by their counselors, advisors, and administrators from day one of 9th grade through graduation day. The same team follows your child the entire four years.
3
Does the school offer enough activities beyond academics? Yes. Students can participate in clubs every day from 4:15 to 5:15, including website design, step team, cheerleading, book club, and math club.

Will my child be ready for college? AMS III students take AP courses, enroll in college classes through Monroe University and St. Francis University while still in high school, and 82% of graduates persist three or more semesters in college, which is above the national average.

Logo &
Identity

United Charter High School for Advanced Math & Science III logo on light background

Primary — Light Background

United Charter High School for Advanced Math & Science III logo on dark background

Reversed — Dark Background (filter: invert)

Clear Space

Maintain a minimum clear space equal to the height of the crest mark on all four sides. Never crowd the logo with adjacent text, imagery, or decorative elements, especially on digital headers, social media profiles, and print materials.

Minimum Size

Never reproduce the logo below 80px wide on screen or 1 inch wide in print. On dark or primary-colored backgrounds, always apply filter: brightness(0) invert(1) so the mark renders cleanly in white. Never use a low-resolution version.

Misuse

Do not stretch, rotate, skew, recolor, or add drop shadows or glows to the mark. Never place the logo on a background that creates low contrast. Always use the approved source file and maintain the crest's proportions at every size.

STEM and Academic Excellence in Action

Prioritize authentic, candid moments: students working through Project Lead the Way labs, engaging in AP Calculus or Computer Science coursework, collaborating on biomedical or engineering projects, and using 1:1 Chromebook and MacBook technology. Show real concentration, real collaboration, and real problem-solving. Avoid staged or stock-style compositions. Natural classroom light and close-up detail shots of hands-on work convey the rigor that defines AMS III.

Community, Pride & Scholar Athletes

Capture the joy, diversity, and determination of the AMS III family: PSAL Championship celebrations, advisory group moments that show the four-year bond between students and staff, after-school clubs in action, girls volleyball and flag football energy, and graduation ceremonies where every student crosses the stage. Images must reflect dignity, belonging, and genuine school pride. This community earns its pride through real effort and real achievement every single day.

09Communication

Voice &
Tone

01 — VOICE

Nurturing and Personal

AMS III communicates the way its staff actually operates: with warmth, care, and genuine investment in every individual student. Every message should feel like it comes from a school that already knows your child, because the team is built to do exactly that. Tone is encouraging without being generic, personal without being informal.

02 — VOICE

Rigorous and Ambitious

AMS III is STEM-focused and project-based, with AP courses, dual enrollment, and three engineering pathways. The voice reflects that ambition clearly and without apology. Families should understand from the first sentence that this school holds students to high standards because it believes every student can meet them, and has the outcomes to prove it.

03 — VOICE

Proud and Specific

100% on-time graduation. PSAL Championship football. 82% college persistence. Dual enrollment with two universities. These are not generic claims. AMS III communications lead with real, specific accomplishments and let the facts carry the message. Avoid vague superlatives. Specificity is the most credible form of confidence a school can project.

04 — VOICE

Inclusive and Welcoming

The mission of AMS III is to provide a rigorous, high-quality education to all students regardless of academic background. The voice reflects that commitment openly. Communications speak to every family in Brooklyn, not just families with students who already excel. The message is: your child belongs here, and we are ready to meet them where they are and take them further than they imagined.
