NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL

The Neighborhood School is a Community School District 1 School of Choice. We are located at 121 East Third Street and share the building with the Star Academy (P.S. 63)... The name, Neighborhood School, is significant. Studies of the family, neighborhood, and city form a core around which our curriculum is built. Children's learning is about exploring the world and finding their place in it. We provide the opportunities for children to explore the social world, asking and finding their answers to questions about how people live, why people live together in communities, what services neighborhoods provide, how New York City came to be the way it is, and how they can work with others and contribute to a better world and community... The Neighborhood School was founded in September 1991. It was designed to meet an expressed need for a progressive approach to educating the children of our community. Family involvement is vital, and we encourage our families to contribute to the school..
