The Elementary School
The Elementary School program encompasses the elementary grades through Grade Eight. After they have mastered the introductory skills of the primary years, students are ready for greater academic challenges and more independence. A devoted Upper School faculty expertly guides our students toward success both in and out of the classroom.
The Upper School continues the use of the Core Knowledge curriculum. At this stage, student learning is very heavily focused on becoming developing high level reading, writing and maths skills. Students in the Middle School are encouraged to take risks in the learning process, and are guided by a supportive and caring faculty and staff.

Enrichment

Our academic program is supplemented by a variety of enrichment programs in music, theater, and the arts. In addition, Saint Albans' location in midtown Manhattan allows us to make New York part of the classroom. Throughout the year, students make frequent visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Natural History Museum, the Museum of Math, the Tenement Museum, the New York Philharmonic, the Morgan Library, the New-York Historical Society, the Guggenheim, and other cultural institutions in an effort to supplement the in-class curriculum with opportunities for hands-on learning.
