NEW - Expanded Special Education Classes

We are excited to announce the expansion of our Special Education classes!
We are committed to meeting the diverse learning needs of every scholar. In addition to our current Integrated Co‑Teaching (ICT) classrooms at all our schools, we are expanding our special education services to include 12:1 and 12:1:1 co-ed classroom settings at our campus located at 192 East 151st Street, Bronx, NY 10451.
These smaller and more supportive classroom environments are designed for scholars who benefit from individualized instruction, increased teacher attention, and specialized learning supports.
We encourage you to share this information with families who may be seeking K-8 co-educational programs aligned to IEP-recommended placements within a community school setting such as:
-
An integrated special education program (ICT)
-
A smaller, specialized classroom setting such as 12:1 or 12:1:1
If any families are interested in learning more or have questions, please fill out this form.
