At Speyer, our students and their teachers are curious, energetic, and wonderfully driven — not just to know facts, but to understand and to question. The most common question heard on the Boulevard — asked by both our students to our teachers and vice versa — is “Why?”.
Students come to Speyer with myriad talents, at times performing at intellectual levels unexpected for their age, and our fearless faculty’s goal is to nourish their love of learning. At the same time, we believe that the best environment for gifted learners is one that nurtures both their academic and emotional development.
In every Speyer classroom, teachers model and cultivate within our students traits such as collaboration, confidence, flexibility, resilience, humor, and appropriate risk-taking — personal skills and work habits associated with lifelong achievement and personal fulfillment. Yet, all while, we encourage our children to be children as they grow and learn.
Because of our intentional K-8 model that integrates pursuit of knowledge and integrity into a deep emphasis on interdisciplinary studies, Speyer graduates attend and thrive at the top high schools in NYC and across the country.
Speyer combines the rigor of an intense, accelerated curriculum with the joy of energetic inquiry. Come and find out why Speyer is the place for your child. Click HERE and apply to Speyer!
