Bank Street School for Children

"As we enter our 2nd year at Bank Street, our enthusiasm and love for the school continue to grow. The Bank Street community of teachers, administrators and families is warm, welcoming and supportive. Our child continues to engage in a multitude of activities that challenge, stimulate and enhance his love of learning and support his social development. Our child continues to thrive at Bank Street as it offers him a learning enrionment that cherishes who he is and provides him with safe, creative and enriching experiences that enable him to explore the community and world around him. Our family is grateful to be a part of the Bank Street Community."

"Both my children attended Bank Street from preschool on up. The dedication, thoughtfulness and warmth of the teachers and administration is reflected in the thoughtful, passionate and engaged students that Bank Street produces. My husband and I are very happy with our experiences at Bank Street, and are so glad we found such a warm and welcoming place."

"Bank Street SFC is an incredible nurturing environment where my children have been excited to attend every day as they have grown. The teachers all have plans for their classrooms that are focused on the children. The Bank Street College and Graduate School is an added benefit that supports the School for Children with an ample supply of student teachers and special programs. Our family enjoys being a part of the Bank Street community and we highly recommend it."

"Our family has been part of the Bank Street community for 12 years, with our two daughters entering in the 4/5s and graduating from 8th grade. We have had a wonderful experience for all 12 years. The teachers are outstanding, and so well supported by each other and the staff that they are able to fully support the students as learners. The parent community has been wonderful and welcoming and we have made lifelong friendships there. The focus of the school on social emotional development and on social justice issues is exactly what we wanted for our children."

"Our 7 year old has been at Bank Street for four years now and she is simply thriving. It's a fantastic school, the teachers are incredibly caring and patient and inclusive. The curriculum is broad and encourages each child to be curious, find their own answers, and forge their own path - all while learning the "usual" reading, writing and math, and then some. Our daughter is also learning to be a citizen of her classroom, New York City, the USA, and the world; to talk about racial and justice issues, treating each other with fairness and compassion, finding common ground and celebrating all of our distinct heritages. Bank Street School For Children is simply a place our child can be her best self, and they have started her on the path to being a smart, caring, fulfilled young woman."
