This fall the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music (BKCM) offers a trove of LIVE, engaging, creative and inspiring classes, ensembles, lectures: from the baby-bopping Sing & Play class, to the hands-on Intro to DJ class, to enthralling Instrument Adventures classes, to Composition Club and much more.

Private lessons at BKCM are an extraordinary experience and are available for every major instrument including voice. Drawing from a diverse faculty of world-class musicians and educators, we match each student to a teacher whose approach and experience best fits their learning style.

Plus, private lesson students can take advantage of free or reduced admission classes and ensembles. More than just a phenomenal value, these complementary programs are integral to our holistic and comprehensive approach, and are designed to promote musical excellence.

Founded in 1897, BKCM brings high-quality music education and therapy to thousands of students and clients city-wide through its Community Music School (CMS), Suzuki Program, Music Therapy and Music Partners program.

BKCM is operating remotely through September. Check www.bkcm.org for updates.

Avenues: The World School is an independent school serving toddlers through 12th grade. Founded with the vision to establish one school with many campuses that are intentionally connected and located in key global cities, Avenues is one highly integrated learning community, supported by a common mission, shared curriculum—including language immersion—world-class technology, and an expert faculty.  Avenues is helping define a new category of school—a world school—that goes beyond what’s expected of a school today to develop the future thought leaders and innovators of tomorrow.

Avenues’ first campus opened in 2012 in New York and the second campus opened in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2018. One year later, Avenues Shenzhen opened. With the launch of Avenues Online in 2019, Avenues began to set the new standard for online education. Avenues is currently developing campuses in Silicon Valley, Shanghai and Miami, with plans to open additional campuses around the globe.

Students from our first graduating classes are studying at many of the finest institutions in the world and are on their way to becoming, in the words of our mission statement, “architects of lives that transcend the ordinary.”

We warmly invite you to learn more about us this fall!

Green Meadow Waldorf School is one of about 300 Waldorf Schools in the United States and approximately 1,000 Waldorf Schools internationally. Rather than teaching to the test or adhering to Common Core standards, the Waldorf curriculum fosters independent, critical thinking and problem solving, develops ethics and morality, and promotes true joy in learning.

As one of the largest and oldest Waldorf schools in the US, we currently have about 200 students in Nursery through Twelfth Grade. We offer a Parent & Child program for babies and toddlers from birth to age three. Our 11-acre wooded campus includes outdoor classrooms, farm, fields, streams, and a Forest Preschool; small class sizes help keep your child safe and seen. We offer busing from NYC!

Many parents are wondering what life will look like in September. At Green Meadow Waldorf School, we are adhering to our core principles: equity, safety, predictability and rhythm, relationships, a full five-day program, place-based education, education of the whole person, flexibility, and community. Please continue to check our homepage for updates.

The International Academy of New York still has room for kids entering Nursery through Fifth Grade this fall! Our classroom sizes are small (with 10 students or fewer per class) and that’s a huge advantage. We have plenty of space to allow for social distancing for all of the students and teachers. This means, we won’t have to do alternating days or weeks. Our students also have immediate access to the outdoors, either on our roof top or in Central Park right next to us. Call or email the school to find out about our child-centered curriculum, our bilingual program (children become fluent in Chinese or Spanish) and our social emotional support.
