This school is an amazing, focused school which provides a nurturing environment grounded in rigorous academic approaches and a character-driven ethos.

One of only two Co-Ed Catholic primary / middle schools in Manhattan (and the only one below 60th street), it provides a warm introduction to catholic tradition while being welcoming of students of all faiths. The school consistently has large amounts of children from various religious traditions as well as students who are foreign-born or have parents from other nations. This diversity is celebrated most on International Day when students select the country which they want to represent and dress up accordingly.

Its first two graduating classes (2016 and 2017) were accepted to a wide range of top ranked high schools in Manhattan and around NYC.
