Manhattan Charter School

At Manhattan Charter Schools, both located in the Lower East Side, students are not just taught; they are taught to learn, and to love doing it. Their mission is to cultivate curious minds and to develop a solid foundation on which to base wise choices and build meaningful futures. All students, in grades K-5, are taught French along with art, technology, health, and physical education, in addition to regular classroom instruction. Every student receives daily music lessons and has the opportunity to join the band and chorus. Mobile technology labs in every classroom, as well as Chromebooks, iPads, and Promethean Boards are used for all subject areas. Formal and informal assessments take place throughout the year to help gauge students’ success and help them reach their potential. Manhattan Charter School students have been accepted to many specialized middle school programs including Prep for Prep, The Mark Twain School, George Jackson School, Holy Child School, Blue Man Group, The Institute for Collaborative Education, and more. “I love Manhattan Charter School,” says proud parent, Liz Morales. “This was my daughter’s elementary school; the teachers were so good and she learned a lot.” Entering its 13th year, Manhattan Charter Schools is accepting applications for the 2018-19 school year. Tours for prospective parents and students are given every Tuesday and Thursday morning. Students who reside in CSD 1 are given preference, but all are welcome to apply.
