Our Story
Founded in the early 1990s, the Manhattan School for Children emerged from a collaborative effort among parents, educators, and staff within NYC’s Community School District 3. This unique school of choice welcomes children from diverse backgrounds, fostering a vibrant community where students celebrate their differences and learn from one another. The project-based, student-centered approach to education emphasizes a philosophy of a 'community of learners,' ensuring that every child feels valued and engaged.
