The IDEAL School of Manhattan is a K-12+ independent, nonprofit, inclusion school that extends the definition of diversity in education to include varying abilities. The first of its kind in New York City, we welcome all types of learners into our classrooms and fill a crucial gap in the educational landscape of the city. Our student population includes children of different races, religions, cultures, family configurations, socio-economic backgrounds, strengths, and challenges. We are a truly diverse school on the cutting edge of educational theory. The core of our philosophy is inclusion – the inherent right of all people to participate fully in society. We offer the benefits of an independent school education to many different types of students – from those who excel in academic areas to those who have learning challenges. With inclusion - everybody wins!
