Every morning students in 3rd Grade greet each other in a community meeting to make connections and build community.

Students build number sense, note patterns and relationships, internalize operations, create and represent mathematical ideas, calculate accurately, and build toward efficient use of algorithms.

Students meet in small groups to explore skills in fine and performing arts, and in science class to explore different forms of energy, learning to differentiate between potential and kinetic energy.

Students meet to explore library resources, in person and online, and in small groups to explore and develop reading strategies at their level to build comprehension, stamina, and research skills.

Students study indigenous populations and the impact of European exploration; then New Amsterdam and the effects colonialism had on indigenous people and enslaved people transported to the colonies.

After school, students have the option of taking enrichment classes such as Chess, Cooking, Coding, and Mandarin among others or enjoying a snack and meeting for free play choice time.

7th graders hold a mock trial of Galileo for heresy against the Catholic Church, playing roles of witnesses and attorneys, seeing the connections between science, religion, and historical eras.

Students deepen the study of biological building blocks, with cells, DNA structure, protein synthesis, heredity, and genetics; they build Punnett squares to identify dominant and recessive traits.

Students debate the motivations and perspectives of characters in novels such as "The Outsiders" and "Pride".

Students collaborate to produce a one-act performance. Through rehearsal and hands-on experience, they learn how to create a polished work of theater, complete with costumes, lights, props, and sound.

Students travel to Randall's Island for practices and games against fellow independent schools. And at LEGO Robotics, they build and program robots to compete in local and national competitions.
