New York City (NYC) Community Schools begin with two simple yet powerful ideas: (1) in order for students to achieve academic excellence, we must support the whole child, and their family; (2) schools can’t do it alone. NYC scaled its Community School strategy from 45 schools in 2015 to 227 schools today and is achieving real results. Learn how NYC works across sectors and engages partners, community leaders, educators, and families to create opportunity and support equity and excellence.
