Why Choose the Long Island School?

For many parents, finding the right fit for their child’s education is incredibly important. For some this means fostering a love for life-long learning. For others, this encompasses the ability to persist despite setbacks and challenges. And for others, unique learning opportunities their children might experience is a major draw. 

The Long Island Elementary School experience meets all of these expectations and more. With a small student-to-teacher ratio at a maximum of 5:1, a student’s educational journey truly becomes a partnership between the student, teacher and parents. With an approach that blends traditional classroom learning skills, hands-on project-based inquiry, and field-based learning, students are met where they are and engage in multiple modalities of learning to help them achieve their individualized learning goals.
