What is Speyer? Speyer is an independent K-8 school for gifted learners with an accelerated, interdisciplinary curriculum which is grounded in the leading research and best practices in gifted education. Speyer was founded to provide an environment specifically designed for gifted students to foster their natural talents, to build a strong educational foundation through differentiated instruction, and to provide a limitless ceiling for growth and exploration. Speyer is a space that provides a differentiated, interactive, and project-based education. At Speyer, we want our students to take risks and encourage them to become comfortable with questions that don’t have easy answers.
What is Speyer? Speyer’s intentional K-8 model means our students leave us and enter high school confident in not only their academic abilities but also in who they are as people. When our students graduate, they are braver, kinder, and more prepared for the opportunities that lie ahead. Trinity. Stuyvesant. Dalton. Exeter. Bronx Science. Horace Mann. Brearley. These are just a few of the outstanding high schools Speyer alumni attend.
What is Speyer? Speyer is an inclusive community committed to developing within our students ethical responsibility and civic mindedness. In each Speyer classroom, you will find purposeful character building stemming from the social and emotional strengths of gifted learners: a strong sense of justice, sensitivity, and empathy. Speyer is a community built on understanding and respect. It is a school where Inclusion means Belonging, and it is a place where everyone within it feels they belong.
What is Speyer? Speyer is the only independent school in New York City specifically designed for gifted learners — however the word “gifted” is not the most important part of that statement. Our focus is on the word “learners.” We are passionate about challenging our students every day in their insatiable quest for learning.
