Our motto is "Developing Leaders for the Renaissance of New York". Renaissance is based on the conviction that a change in the destiny of a single individual can lead to a change in the destiny of a community, a nation, and, ultimately, humankind. Our mission as a PreK-12 school is to foster educated, responsible, humanistic young leaders who are powerful thinkers, engaged citizens and life-long learners who will spark a "renaissance" in New York. Our graduates will be global citizens with an abiding respect for peace, human rights, the environment, and sustainable development. Through our Youth Leadership Program, we hope to foster a life-long love of philanthropy and community engagement.
