My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions!

They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically.

This has been a tricky year for them as a blended class in NYC. At first we worked on a rotating schedule a few days a week per pod. Since both pods merged we've been lucky to have 5 days a week, in person together. We have frequently had to work remotely. It has been truly impressive to watch how this group of wonderful students can roll with the ever changing shifts this year has brought us!
