At a Glance
A tiny Catholic secondary packing IB and STEAM into 80 students in the East Village
Best suited for
Families who want their child genuinely known by name at a faith-based secondary with real academic credentials (IB, AP, college credit), and who are comfortable with the trade-offs that come with a school this small.
What stands out
- IB Program offered at a school of only 80 students — unusual for a secondary this small
- STEAM-forward curriculum woven into the Catholic college-prep model
- Single flat tuition of $24,500 with no tiered pricing reported
- VEX robotics plus AP, Honors, and college-credit course options
- Rolling admissions rather than a fixed annual deadline
Things to consider
- 80 total students means a tight social circle and a relatively small alumni network
- Parent reviews are mixed (3.4/5 across 17 reviews), with one parent praising small classes and a coding program
- Religious affiliation — Catholic and Church of Christ — may not fit families seeking purely secular education
- Reported demographics show no Asian or multiracial students, despite a high overall diversity index of 0.96
- STEAM emphasis should be weighed against a student's interest in humanities or arts tracks
Identity
A Catholic college-preparatory secondary school with a Church of Christ affiliation, blending religious formation with serious college-prep academics across four grade levels.
Community
With roughly 20 students per grade, this is a community where teachers know every student by name — and where the peer social world is correspondingly narrow. Demographically, the school is 47.5% White, 30% Hispanic, and 22.5% Black, with no reported Asian or multiracial enrollment.
Neighborhood
The East Village location puts students in a dense lower-Manhattan neighborhood where median household income runs about $87,728 and roughly 59.5% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. A 24.7% poverty rate captures the area's economic mix — established wealth, long-time working-class residents, and a sizable student and creative-class population all coexist here.
Astor Pl (6) is about a 3-minute walk, 8 St-NYU (R W) about 5 minutes, and 2 Av (F) about 7 minutes — three lines within a short stroll for older students commuting on their own.
