Corlears School

In their Social Justice Meetings, our third, fourth, and fifth-graders have been exploring identity and sharing the building blocks of who they are. Through these activities, we reflect on our uniqueness, appreciate differences, and also find commonalities.

Our Ks curriculum integrates social studies, science, math, art, and technology, all of which foster a growing understanding of how everything in our world is interconnected.  Thank you for sharing your Corlears experience on Niche, where we’ve been ranked an A+ school!

@UnionSquareNY It was a lovely trip — as always! 😊

First Grade is currently learning about fruits and vegetables in science class, so they took a field trip to the local farmers' market! Then, they ended the field trip at the Union Square playground, where the kids had a wonderful time enjoying the lovely fall weather.

Inside Fifth Grade: As the eldest students at Corlears, fifth graders take on many leadership roles within the community, including classroom buddies with younger students and weekly assembly-hosting duties. Here are some photos from their first weeks of school!

Corlears Early Childhood Division Director Colleen Goddard, Ph.D., provides insights into identifying potential challenges — and tips for building, strengthening, and supporting the overall development of your toddler at home and at school.

We can’t thank our Corlears families enough for taking the time to share their experiences on Niche, where we’ve been ranked an A+ school! These early years are the most crucial years for every child, and they set a foundation of learning and confidence for everything to come.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 This weekend, spooky season was in full swing at Learn. Play. Grow. We hope you enjoyed song-filled games, open play throughout the school's spaces, and themed activities with our partners @lovechildyoga, @artsforallnyc, @thegiantroom, + @childsplaynewyork!

Our Head of School David Egolf popped in to visit the Seedlings students during choice time, which included a magnetic table, a puzzle table, an art table and a sand table! This bit of unstructured exploration time allows our nursery students to follow their natural curiosity.

Each year, we call on our families, alumni, and friends to contribute to the Corlears School Annual Fund, and this year’s Annual Fund theme is Making Waves. To learn more about the Annual fund or to make a donation, click here: bit.ly/3ESfCAL

Our First Graders share a poem that represents the Core Values of belonging and compassion, which are cultivated in every experience for students, families, and staff here at Corlears!

Each school year, Corlears takes its third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students on overnight trips. During these three-day adventures outside of the city, students foster community and strengthen trust in one another. Learn more about it on our blog: bit.ly/3D1ePwc

We wanted to take a moment to spotlight Tenley Smith, a Corlears School graduate from the class of 2013 who returned this summer to volunteer as a counselor in training. Tenley is a great example of how our alumni are making a difference! (Photo credit: Stephanie Turci).

We had a wonderful evening at our New Families Reception, which is an event hosted by our Board of Trustees to welcome our newest families and families with a child in their first year at Corlears. Thank you to everyone that attended and we welcome you to the Corlears community!

We love to hear our PreK students sing about belonging! The social justice themes of identity, diversity, justice, and action are a significant piece of the educational experience at Corlears. Especially at this young age, the exploration of self helps to build confidence.
