Read what parents are saying about School For Global LeadersAll staff and teachers are great !!!
Posted by a parent on 6/27/2017My daughter has always been a good child but school has been an issue a few grades before. Since she has been at global leaders, she has been engaged and interested. It is great to ask what she learned in school and she answers with something that i havent heard before. The administration is always accessable. Most of the time its not the principal, but you willbe able to speak to an assiatant principal or dean that will take time to listen to concerns and if neccesary, like one instance i had, will get ms chan, to address the problem. I did not give 5 stars because its only been a year but when she graduates 8th grade, i will be back to give another review.
Posted by a parent on 12/13/2013This is my son's second year in this school and I have to say that I have mixed feelings about it. Academic wise, he's doing better this year than last year. The teachers are willing to provide extra help, for the most part. However, the administrative staff is nothing to brag about. The Principal's leadership isn't good and the Parent Coordinator is extremely rude. To wrap things up, this is my advice. If you are an involved and concerned parent then it's obvious that dealing with kind, welcoming individuals is of big importance. You will not get that at SGL. Now, if you're seeking a school with decent teachers and don't care about school communication, etc, then check the school out as well as touring other schools. Please make it your business to tour other schools and explore your options. There are many.
Posted by a parent on 4/3/2013Overall, it was great school, but discipline issues have become more of a problem in the past year. I also didn't like how my child really didn't study that much history, or have the opportunity for arts and theatre.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved to NYC at the end of COVID; I was looking for school options and relying heavily on reviews from this and other forums, which was really tough. We've been at Anna Silver for 3 school years now, commuting from Brooklyn, and I'm glad that we made this choice. In our experience with the school, and specifically the Mandarin Dual Language program:- The key staff - Principal, Parent coordinator, and school safety officers know and greet the kids by name every morning. - The principal and teachers are all outside at dismissal after school, and have been incredibly willing to chat when I have had questions or concerns. When I'm not at dismissal (and kids go to after school), teachers and staff have all been very responsive over email.- Within the Mandarin Dual Language program, the class sizes have been small (all below 20!) allowing for good teacher attention, and tight bonds to form amongst the classes. In my oldest daughter's cohort, all but 2 students and ALL OF the non-native speakers went on to Mandarin Dual Language middle school programs, which I think says a lot for the interest in the language and love of learning instilled. - There is a wide range of activities and programs brought into the school for arts and dance exposure.In my school search, I often heard variations of "it's not a good school, the test scores aren't great." It is worth calling out that the school has many students who are both recent immigrants and learning English. All parent communications are in English, Spanish and Mandarin. We've personally loved the diversity of the school, and the care that is shown to learning about everyone's culture and language.Parent Review5mo ago - S.T.A.R. Academy - PS 63

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has attended this school for 5 years, and I couldn't be happier with my choice in elementary school. The teachers are amazing, and very dedicated to the students. They do not teach for state tests instead they prepare the students for critical thinking. There are no text books, which I like since they create their own curriculum and are not limited to teach according to one textbook. In Math and ELA, students are broken out in groups based on their ability across the grades, but have specific focus to help them grow and develop. The classes have two teachers and then one or two assistant teachers. They are available to answer questions. And ClassDojo (a facebook for schools) is a great tool for teachers, parents, and staff to stay connected. Teachers post videos with new math concepts to help parents understand (!!!!). The staff is amazingly supportive. Ms. Cameron (p) and Ms. Friedman (vp') are always there to greet parents and guide students through the day. Ms. Alice (the parent coordinator) is heart of the school! It is a small school, but builds a great community and support for parents, students, teachers and staff.Parent Review5y ago - Ps 140 Nathan Straus

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has a great sense of building community through various creative activities between the students themselves and also with their families. The children learn to be independent while learning. Our kid has develop a love for math and reading that we appreciate very much. Usually this type of progressive agenda is mostly found in private schools, we are very grateful that this school is public and accesible to all (as is non-zoned).Other Review2mo ago - The New Amsterdam School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur daughter was two when we attended parent child at New Amsterdam School and we have been a part of the community for the past 7 years. It has been her second home where she feels safe, free, respected and loved. The teachers are committed in their work to understand each child. The neighborhood garden and local parks is where the children play and enjoy a bit of nature twice a day, everyday. Our daughter has grown to be a strong and caring person who experiences school life in a balanced, wholesome way, where she works diligently in academics and plays vigorously with friends whom she has developed strong relationships with through the years. NAS has provided support for us as we navigated parenthood. During these trying times, NAS has been open for full day learning. The small class sizes allowed for appropriate social distancing, where our daughter can safely attend school in person and with her friends. It is important to experience the social aspects of learning and we feel truly grateful she continues to at NAS.Parent Review3y ago
