We are excited to announce the return of our "Once Upon A Time in New York City" curriculum! Our students will be heading outdoors to explore everything NYC has to offer, from subway cars and iconic buildings to museums, parks, sports, arts, and more.
Each week, children will discover different parts of the city and its diverse cultures through engaging classroom activities, outdoor explorations, and a variety of fun experiences, including playing in the sprinklers at some of the city's amazing playgrounds. While we embrace the vibrant culture of our island home, our classrooms will continue to follow the Montessori curriculum.

Toddler (2-3 years) & Primary (3-6 years)
Our "Once Upon a Time in New York City" curriculum is a journey through the cultural, historical, and scientific wonders of NYC. The program offers enriching experiences for both Kindergarten students (5-year-olds entering elementary school) and elementary-age students.
Through hands-on activities, students will explore NYC while integrating language, math, science, culture, history, art, and more. Highlights include field trips to iconic city landmarks and two overnight trips to the Poconos, where elementary students will participate in team-building activities, outdoor exploration, and a unique eco-entrepreneurship experience.
Throughout the summer, students will create art connected to our weekly themes. We will host our Annual Lemonade Day Charity event in conjunction with our NYC Expo, showcasing the students' work and inviting all parents to visit our museum.
