Some of our students who have applied early decision to colleges got the good news that they were accepted. So far we have students planning to attend Middlebury College, Cornell University and New York College (NYU). We will add news of other acceptances as they happen. Congratulations, students. Your hard work paid off.

Graduation 2020
This year 20 of our students, with whom we have worked in various capacities at some point during their K-12 years, graduated high school. Despite the restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 health crisis, they all reported having a satisfying graduation under the circumstances. No doubt for all, high school graduation and senior year will be memorable.
In September, a few of them will be taking a year off to wait out the crisis, but some will be starting college. Colleges they have selected to attend include Temple, Swarthmore, Chesapeake College, Georgia Tech., Wesleyan, Columbia, Univ. of Pittsburgh, Barnard, School of Art Institute of Chicago and Scripps.
We wish them all the very best!
