At a Glance
A tiny, individualized learning environment in the heart of Borough Park
Families seeking a small, highly individualized environment for a child who needs more support than a typical classroom can provide — particularly if the special education focus aligns with your child's needs. The tiny scale is the selling point here, not diversity or typical extracurricular breadth.
- Very small scale — only 122 students total
- 6:1 student-teacher ratio means significant individual attention
- Serves pre-K through 5th grade in a combined setting
- Name indicates special education focus
- 100% white student body may not reflect the broader NYC diversity
- Religious affiliation listed (Church of God in Christ) differs from what the school name suggests — worth clarifying directly with the school
- Very small size means limited extracurricular offerings typical at larger schools
- Tuition costs for private schools are a significant factor for most families
- Commute may be a challenge if you don't live nearby
A very small private school serving pre-K through 5th grade, with a 6:1 student-teacher ratio and a name indicating special education services. The religious affiliation is listed as Church of God in Christ, though the name suggests a different community focus.
Total enrollment of 122 students across six grade levels creates a genuinely small community. The student body is 100% white, which is notably less diverse than typical NYC schools.
Borough Park is one of Brooklyn's most family-dense neighborhoods, with a strong sense of community and local identity. It's known for its Orthodox Jewish population, neighborhood restaurants, and busy commercial corridors.
The area is highly walkable with good subway access, though parents should expect to factor commute time into their decision.
