At a Glance

A Tiny Elementary School Where Every Child Is Known by Name

Best suited for

Families seeking an exceptionally small, personal elementary experience with traditional values and one-on-one attention. Parents who value community roots over diverse student populations and appreciate the simplicity focus of Amish-influenced education will find this school well-suited to their child.

What stands out
  • 7:1 student-teacher ratio — among the smallest in the city
  • Amish-affiliated values emphasizing community and simplicity
  • Tiny school size means every child is known
  • Serves pre-K through 5th grade in one building
  • Focus on foundational academics
Things to consider
  • Very small enrollment (106 students) means limited social opportunities and extracurricular options
  • Low diversity — the student body is not demographically varied
  • Amish affiliation may reflect specific religious or cultural values that not all families relate to
  • Limited information available about advanced programs or special initiatives
  • East New York location requires consideration of commute for some families
IdentityThe School Operates On Traditional Amish-Influenced Principles Emphasizing Community, Simplicity, And Strong Foundational Academics. The Extremely Low Student-Teacher Ratio Means Instruction Can Be Tailored To Individual Learners Rather Than One-Size-Fits-All Approaches.
