Academics

Our Curriculum

Our literacy work is guided through HMH with a focus on encouraging our students to become skilled readers and writers. In addition, our K-2 students engage in Heggerty, for phonemic awareness and Fundations word study.

We use the Pearson enVision math curriculum, aligned with Next Generation Standards.

NYC Passport to Social Studies provides resources and support for students to act as global citizens and critical thinkers.

Amplify, our hands-on, inquiry-based Science approach provides a solid foundation of fundamental science concepts. Our curriculum resources have been expanded to include digital components.

We believe that students should have the opportunity to explore concepts across all disciplines through project-based work.

Our community partnerships allow our students to participate in the arts. We currently partner with Korea Taekwondo, Alastair Musical Theater, Together in Dance, and Cultural after School Adventures (CASA).
