Welcome to The Center School
WHERE IT'S OK TO GO OUTSIDE THE LINE
The Adolescent Years Are Tricky
The Center School is an innovative 5th through 8th grade middle school on Manhattan’s Upper West Side open to students from all New York City neighborhoods.
The adolescent years are tricky. Children shift from concrete thinking to abstract thinking. Peer approval and acceptance become increasingly important. To stay engaged and interested in learning, children should feel actively involved in their education. And they should feel like valued and supported members of a community. The Center School students feel both. Learn more about The Center School.
The academics are challenging. Students read good literature, write extensively, and explore intricate subject matters.
Because it is small and because children attend classes in same-age and inter-age groups, The Center School students get to know one another quickly.
