The George Washington Educational Campus is a facility of the New York City Department of Education located at 549 Audubon Avenue at West 193rd Street in the Fort George neighborhood of Washington Heights, Manhattan, New York City, United States. Within the building are located four schools:

• The first floor is the High School for Media and Communications (M463).
• The second floor houses The College Academy, formerly the High School for International Business and Finance (M462).
• The third floor houses the High School for Health Careers and Sciences (M468).
• The fourth floor houses the High School for Law and Public Service (M467).

The building is located on the site of the former Fort George Amusement Park.^[1]: 30 The school opened on February 2, 1917, as an annex of Morris High School. George Washington High School was founded in 1919, and moved into the building in 1925. It was known by that name until 1999, when the building was divided into the four small schools.

George Washington Education Campus has a Works Progress Administration (WPA) mural, The Evolution of Music, painted by Lucienne Bloch in 1938.^[2] This mural was painted in a room originally used as a music room and later as a dance studio.

The campus also houses one of only two NJROTC units in New York City, in its basement, led by Commander Michael S Payne (Ret.) and Chief Petty Officer John Sikora (Ret.).^[3] New York-Presbyterian Hospital maintains a clinic on the first floor.^[4]
