Excellent. The Beekman School works closely with families to ensure a solid experience. Teachers are personable, clear in their expectations and truly care that students learn and grow. The unique small class model allows for a friendly relaxed learning enviroment. The Beekman School and its Tutoring School provide the ability to shape a seamless curriculum including Advanced course options. Good communication from Admin & faculty as needed.

Our teen took a math and English class during the summer school session. We were very impressed with the high quality of instruction. We got MORE thank our money’s worth. Our child enjoyed going to class and often told us that her teachers were amazing.

The teaching staff and Headmaster Higgins at Beekman are beyond "fantastic". They made all the difference in my son's High School academic experience. My son was able to finally focus and succeed. The teachers at Beekman believed in him so that he could believe in himself; with their constant encouragement and smaller class sizes, Beekman was the right "fit" for him.

This school is tiny, tiny, tiny, fewer than 100 kids total. There are great upsides to that: it's humane, nobody slips through the cracks, class sizes are tiny and the school is a very easy humane place to deal with. The headmaster pretty much does everything, from admissions to advice on what kids should take. When you call, he picks up the phone. There are downsides: almost no extra curriculars, no sports teams, no Parent Association, no fancy building, no full-time college placement office, no financial aid, not many course choices. On the other hand, if you take a course elsewhere in the city, at the SVA or FIT, that counts as a credit. The school will take almost any student, even mid year, with no testing. (A lot of U.N. families.) Some students there have had very interesting journeys, often with some bumps, up to that point. The discipline practices are clear and make sense. I have to say, while it was not my first or even fourth choice of school, I've been quite pleasantly surprised by how well it works. The teachers and kids seem to form real bonds. There's no bullying. It's a great antidote from the pressure cookers many of these kids come from. And while the Tutoring School, down in the basement, is very bare bones in terms of environs, it's useful if you have a student who struggles in a particular area or needs an accelerated track. All in all, the school is a bit like a Leatherman—very handy, especially if you're in a strange environment (say, a visiting foreigner) or a jam.
