About Our School
Students enjoy our family-like atmosphere and small classroom setting. Teachers are
readily accessible to students before, during, and after-school. Our school features a
variety of academic and recreational programs, including after-school varsity sports
and arts programs. Parents enjoy having access to teachers, guidance counselors,
administrators, and school staff. Parents are invited to school events to learn about
their child's academic, social, and emotional progress. Our school conducts special
outreach to parents of students with a variety of learning needs. Beyond the required
academic courses, students participate in a variety of extracurricular classes such as
career development and sports. Our school also collaborates with a number of
community organizations such as Bronx Community College, Lehman College, and FHI
360. We've been awarded technology grants to update our computer laboratory to
enhance the academic performance of our students.
