At Manhattan Academy our schools are dedicated to providing each child the environment and opportunity to achieve his/her full potential socially, academically, and emotionally. Through a well balanced and hands-on curriculum that stresses academics and incorporates the liberal arts, the child will be able to develop a lifelong love of learning.
Manhattan Academy respects and appreciates each child, focusing on his/her uniqueness and individuality. Our mission is to build self-discipline,self-motivation, as well as self-esteem in a child through meeting and fulfilling the child's mental and physical needs during these crucial years of development.
Furthermore, it is our goal to promote freedom with responsibility and encourage involvement in the community through the cooperation of school, parents and child. As the Montessori method teaches us, when a child participates in serving and helping others, their awareness of acceptance and appreciation will be a lifelong journey, continuously developing the independent, secure and balanced human being.
