This model is student-centered, collaborative, and encourages students to think critically while developing leadership skills in school and the community. We seek to prepare students for life’s opportunities, responsibilities, and challenges, so that they may continue to flourish long after they’ve moved on. We believe in the collaborative approach to education. We all have unique strengths and points of view, and together we are greater than the sum of our parts. By working together, our dedicated teachers, staff, and community raise the performance level of each individual by supporting every child both emotionally and educationally. Excellence is a process, not a destination. We are always innovating, improving ourselves as we strive to be the best school in New York City.
