GETTING A CLOSER LOOK AT SCIENCE
The entire First Grade was treated to a day of hands-on exploration at the Columbia University medical laboratories by Doctors James Guarrera, Michael Shen, and Cory Abate-Shen, all parents at The School.



Our K – 8 student body is, by design, one of the most ethnically, economically and socially diverse in the country. We are committed to providing each student an education tailored to her or his needs while forging a robust and mindful learning community supported by the latest in research-supported pedagogical strategies and information technology.
