Ps 287 Bailey K Ashford

My child has attended this school since 3k , he's now in pre k and I've seen a tremendous growth in him. He exhibits more discipline and more understanding for social rules in bigger environments. Staff has been very helpful and friendly. I've always received daily updates on what my child is learning via classdojo and while most schools still followed a strict covid procedure, this school did their best to safely include parents in their child's learning experience. The school is diverse in ethnicity as well, which is important in NYC.

A Transformative Experience at Greene Hill SchoolOur family is deeply grateful for the years our son spent at Greene Hill School, attending from 5th through 8th grade. His time at GHS was not only academically enriching but personally transformative — a true launching pad into high school and beyond.Greene Hill has a remarkable way of preparing students to be engaged, curious, and proactive learners. The progressive education model they champion is not just theory — it shows up every day in the classroom, on field trips, in student-led projects, and in the way teachers build authentic relationships with their students. Our son graduated with a strong sense of self, the confidence to speak up and advocate for his ideas, and a deep understanding of how to think critically and creatively. These qualities have helped him thrive from the onset in his Manhattan high school, where he continues to stand out for his thoughtful participation, leadership, and collaborative spirit.What sets GHS apart is its commitment to nurturing the whole child. The school community encourages intellectual risk-taking, emotional growth, and real-world learning. The teachers are inspiring — not only skilled educators but caring mentors who truly see each child. The mixed-grade advisories, the art and project-based curriculum, and the emphasis on community and equity all work together to create a learning environment that rich and deeply human.As a parent and involved community member, I’ve also witnessed firsthand the dedication behind the scenes — from strategic planning to maintaining a sliding scale tuition model that invites families from diverse backgrounds to be part of something meaningful and future-focused. It’s rare to find a school that is so clear in its values and so joyful in its execution. This isn’t a school stuck in old paradigms — it’s a place that sees and responds to the evolving needs of children, society, and the world they are stepping into.We carry our Greene Hill years with immense pride and gratitude. It is a place where children are not only educated but empowered— a true gem in Manhattan/Brooklyn’s educational landscape.
