Education Guide 2020/2021

The school year, while in COVID, has been one of challenges and learning curves. And what we have learned thus far is the resilience of all the amazing educators and schools New York has to offer. While there have been some hurdles, this is understandable, we have never had to deal with a pandemic (!), but school is happening! And while some schools hold virtual and others a combo, there are many opportunities as a parent to find the right fit for your child when it comes to their education. New York Family compiled this list with the many schools we work with yearly to provide our readers with the most up to date education resources. Please use this guide to help you as we get through the remainder of the year and guide you into the next to learn about the options are available for your child’s education.

The Long Island School For The Gifted

A smart start of an educational journey.&nbsp; For over 40 years, The Long Island School For The Gifted has provided an accelerated experience for gifted children in pre-kindergarten through ninth grade, in a nurturing environment where they will be both intellectually challenged and comfortable socially. LISG helps gifted students develop the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed for life. Emotional, and social needs of the gifted child are addressed whilst building strong character as part of the commitment to developing the whole gifted child. The beauty of an independent gifted school like LISG is that students can learn and grow with others who are like them.&nbsp; We have found that LISG&rsquo;s whole-school approach to gifted education has benefitted our students both more broadly and more deeply than alternative approaches&mdash;like isolated &ldquo;enrichment&rdquo; activities, single accelerated classes, or simply placing exceptionally intelligent children with older students in higher-grade classes.&nbsp; With gifted peers, students learn in a cooperative environment that provides for their social and emotional development and in which giftedness is valued and nurtured by every teacher and staff member in the school. &nbsp;LISG has rolling admissions. Availability is limited based on the grade.&nbsp; Contact them today.
