Our Mission
Our school prides itself in the diversity and individuality of our learning community. We are relentlessly committed to meeting the needs of our students, staff and families by making purposeful decisions about the school environment and curriculum.
Through our project based approach, children will develop the skills of investigation, problem-solving, critical thinking, communication and creativity
while exploring the richness of one of the most amazing cities in the world-New York City. It can begin with our youngest learners and continue to grow up through the grades, starting with the student's immediate neighborhood, then city, state, country and world.
Our child-centered curriculum and learning experiences coupled with the valuable partnerships and organizations and families will support students in developing academically, socially and emotionally.
