Overview
It is our goal to help every child persevere, achieve, and excel. The Common Core curriculum is taught in all subject areas, with a strong focus on writing across disciplines. Students learn the skills that will make them succeed in college and be ready for the modern economy. Technology is infused throughout the curriculum. We offer reduced class sizes in literacy and math, as well as opportunities for independent learning. Parents appreciate the individualized attention that students receive in our small school. They value the open-door policy of our principal and staff, the challenging curriculum, and the variety of enrichment activities that address the whole child. We offer our eighth graders the opportunity to choose academic paths directly related to their intended career. All students attend two-to-three Broadway shows per year. The majority of our eighth graders also take at least one Regents exam.
