An Independent School in New York City
The Beekman School is an educational oasis in the middle of Manhattan. As an independent school in New York City, we provide a non-sectarian education, which means we do not have a religious affiliation. A culture of inclusion is built into the foundation of the school, a culture in which each student is highly valued. Our students are welcomed into a non-discriminatory environment in every respect – from the admissions process to the classroom setting. We are an associate member of the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS), and follow that organization’s principles regarding inclusive education. Parents and students can be assured that we never discriminate on the basis of race, color, sexual orientation, or ethnicity.
The Advantages of a Private, Non-Sectarian High School
Students come to our non-sectarian school to experience an inclusive learning environment and positive peer interaction. Our rolling admissions policy means that we have new students joining our one-of-a-kind school throughout the year. These students come from various cultures and backgrounds, seeking a community where individuality is embraced. Through a no-tolerance approach, we have essentially achieved a school without bullying. If a bullying incident should occur, our faculty members are prepared to act as advocates. Our students understand why there’s no bullying at Beekman, and it’s an important reason they take pride in pursuing their goals here.
