At the Learning Tree we attribute our success to many unique factors our Advisory Board that comprised of concerned and devoted members who consistently monitor the immediate and continuing needs of the children and staff.
The Learning Tree Cultural Preparatory School has a reported Teacher to Student ratio of 1:15. The school year consists of 180 school days, which is the same as the NY public calendar of 180 days, and averages 7 hours per day for students.
The Learning Tree Cultural Prep school has a large focus on challenging their students without making them struggle.
In our academic programs students in nursery through eighth grade are provided the opportunity to learn by doing: moving from concatenating on hands-on experiences to more abstract concepts. Children are not pushed beyond their capabilities or readiness, but are offered a highly accelerated program.
NYC Private Schools offer a wonderfully diverse arena for area students.

You and your child will take many tours of private school that you have both chosen as possible candidates. If you have researched the school, it’s reputation and it’s basic philosophy beforehand, so take a moment to gather your information before the big night. Do you remember that spreadsheet that we recommended you keep to stay organized? Write down some of your notes about the school and their general touring protocols and review them before the tour.
