I have never found a more understanding and amazing group of professionals who actually care to help the child starting from a social emotional place which in turn makes them thrive on their academics. the small classrooms are very adaptive and helpful for kids who may benefit from small groups. I am forever thankful. They have treated my child as a human being not as a number who produces grades. Their model should be duplicated in every borough for the needs this city has for our kids struggling and stuck in placements that do not benefit them or help them and instead pushes them to feel as if they are horrible because they cannot adapt to the educational system.
