In a typical semester, over 250 children are enrolled in Junior Education, for six to nine year olds, and Senior Education, for nine to thirteen year olds, all in a stimulating, stable, loving and supportive environment. From 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday, students receive homework help and academic enrichment, and are encouraged to explore their individual talents and creativity through performing and visual arts, team sports, science and computers, and debating classes. To bolster their literacy and math skills, all learning is theme- and project-based . Recent themes have included the peoples and cultures of other nations, ecology and the environment, and economics. Making the most of the wonderful cultural opportunities in New York City , we partner with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center ’s Young People’s Orchestra, El Museo del Barrio, the American Museum of Natural History, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Diller-Quale Music School, Junior League of New York City, Barnard College, Bank Street College of Education, among many others.

HarborCity: In this popular aspect of the Senior Education portfolio, children nine to thirteen years old create their own society. Micro-citizens mimic the adult world by holding jobs and playing other roles in their community. While improving their math and writing abilities they hone their social skills, learn how to negotiate, work as a team, bring ideas into end results, to assume responsibility for their choices, and to advocate. MicroSociety gives valuable insights on how society operates and the rigorous social rules that govern adult life.
