Manhattan Charter School & Manhattan Charter School II

<p>Having two small public elemen­tary schools educating children in grades Kindergarten through Fifth is certainly appealing to parents.  Here, much emphasis is placed on the importance of an intimate school culture and learning environment.  They are committed to offering a well-rounded education designed to help students develop critical thinking and problem solv­ing skills. This means that there are never more than 25 students in a class, and that all students receive weekly French, Art, Physical Educa­tion, and Technology instruction, in addition to daily Music instruction all beginning in Kindergarten. "We pride ourselves on delivering chal­lenging, standards-driven instruc­tion and fostering a culture of high expectations. We are dedicated to demonstrating that all children, regardless of race or economic sta­tus, can succeed when given equal access to quality education." Both schools offer free afterschool.  Visit <a href="http://www.manhattancharterschool.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.manhattancharterschool.org/&source=gmail&ust=1632498940569000&usg=AFQjCNHW4OtNCKMQM-sdVjrtRWjATPkx8Q">www.<wbr />manhattancharterschool.org</a> to learn more.</p>
