At a Glance

A Tiny Episcopal Middle School Where Every Student Is Known by Name

Best suited for

Families seeking a small, intimate, character-focused middle school experience with strong individual attention. This works best for parents who value community roots and personal relationships over broad extracurricular offerings — and who live in or near the Bronx or are willing to manage a longer commute. The very small size is ideal for students who thrive in close-knit settings and may struggle in larger institutional environments.

What stands out
  • Tiny scale — only 73 students across three grades means an 8:1 student-teacher ratio
  • Middle school only (grades 6-8) — a focused, developmentally appropriate environment for early adolescents
  • Episcopal affiliation — offers spiritual grounding and character-focused education
  • Very intimate community where every student is known personally
  • Predominantly Black and Hispanic student body in a neighborhood setting
Things to consider
  • Very small enrollment means limited extracurricular options and social circles
  • Commute could be challenging — Morris Park is not convenient to major transit hubs
  • Low family density in the neighborhood suggests this may draw from a wider geographic area
  • At 73 students total, graduating classes are tiny — roughly 20-25 students per year
  • Tuition costs (not listed) should be confirmed directly — private school is a significant investment
IdentityThe Small Scale Suggests A Philosophy Built On Individual Attention, Strong Student-Teacher Relationships, And Community Cohesion. Episcopal Schools Typically Emphasize Character Development Alongside Academic Rigor, And This Size Allows Those Values To Be Lived Daily Rather Than Just Stated.

A micro-school middle school (grades 6-8) with an Episcopal foundation and an extraordinarily intimate learning environment. With only 73 students across three grade levels, this is the opposite of an institutional setting.

CommunityModerate

The student body is predominantly Black (56%) and Hispanic (34%), with very small percentages of white, Asian, and multiracial students. This is a school where diversity is lived — different backgrounds learning together in a very small group setting.

NeighborhoodMorris Park

Morris Park is a residential neighborhood in the east Bronx, known for its quiet streets and strong Italian-American roots. It's not a high-density, transit-heavy area — scores here reflect a quieter, more suburban-feeling corner of the city. Families considering this school should expect a commute that likely involves driving or longer bus/subway trips.

This is a car-dependent neighborhood. The transit and family density scores (48 and 27 out of 100) reflect that Morris Park is not particularly walkable or transit-friendly by NYC standards — you'll likely be driving or relying on longer bus rides.
