Overview
The Bank Street School for Children is a Nursery through Grade 8 co-educational school situated within Bank Street College of Education and is a working model of the College`s approach to learning and teaching.
We are an example of progressive education at its best.
The curriculum is experience-based, interdisciplinary, and collaborative. In a rich and varied academic program, children make discoveries from their own observations, explorations, and experiences and use them to construct understanding.
The emphasis is on the whole child: the emotional, social, physical, and intellectual being.
We embrace the values of community and diversity, and we strive to educate children to be lifelong learners in a dynamic and challenging world.
Metropolitan Montessori School is dedicated to providing an enriching and challenging educational environment where each child is encouraged to grow to his or her fullest potential academically, emotionally, and socially.
Through the dynamic partnership of child, parent, and teacher, a consistent Montessori framework for learning is developed, offering "An education for life.".
