The John Jay Educational Campus is a New York City Department of Education facility at 237 Seventh Avenue between 4th and 5th Streets in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. Formerly the location of John Jay High School, (originally Manual Training High School) which was closed in 2004 due to poor student performance, the facility now houses the Secondary School for Law (K462), the Secondary School for Journalism (K463), Park Slope Collegiate (K464, formerly the Secondary School for Research) and Millennium Brooklyn High School (K684).
