Its coeducational N–8 configuration allows the school to focus all of its curricular and financial efforts on meeting the needs of students from ages 3 to 14 without the complexities and distractions that come with having a high school. It allows students to find their voices and become active partners in their educational journey. The school’s balanced approach builds the foundation for academic excellence through joyful experiences and expression, setting the stage for realizing Town’s focus on “Joy with Purpose.” Above all, Town’s intentional approach to the creation of a community formed around shared values sets this remarkable school apart. Town is a school where educational philosophy translates directly into daily life. Even a casual visitor can see the schoolʹs philosophy living in the child‐centered conversations about learning, in the innovation in the classrooms, and in the academic achievement of the children. It is a school where the educational philosophy is palpable in an environment in which different perspectives are deeply valued and cultivated. At Town, children not only learn skills but also become confident young adults. 3 STUDENTS The Town School seeks to attract families who understand and embrace the school’s well‐articulated mission and philosophy. While Town enrolls families from throughout New York City, more than three‐quarters of the students are currently drawn from the Upper East Side of Manhattan. With many students arriving each day on foot and by scooter, Town has the feel of a neighborhood school. One parent described it as “an oasis on the Upper East Side for nice, down‐to‐earth families.” Shuttle buses transport students to and from the nearest subway stop at Lexington Avenue and from locations on the Upper West Side. Town is committed to enrolling a student body that is diverse across many dimensions. A $2.5 million financial aid budget is providing tuition assistance to 19 percent of the student body this year, with additional funds available for ancillary expenses families might incur, thereby enabling all families to avail themselves of the rich program that Town offers its students. Additionally, 36 percent of students this year identify as people of color, a 77 percent increase since 2006. The admissions office places a high priority on widening the pool of applicants through extensive outreach via school fairs, advertising, forging relationships with preschools, and working with organizations committed to diversity in independent schools. Well prepared academically, ethically, and socially for the next step in their educational journey, Town graduates are welcomed to the city’s top independent high schools. A few each year choose to attend boarding schools and, occasionally, New York City’s specialized high schools. FACULTY AND STAFF Town’s creative, expert, and dedicated faculty and staff lie at the heart of the school’s success. Founded by an educator and directed by faculty for much of its early history, Town retains a culture that highly values teaching and collegiality. In fact, Town’s Board of Trustees has publicly committed to providing compensation in the top quartile of peer schools for administrators, faculty, and staff. The presence of co‐ teachers in N‐K – 4th grade homerooms and a full complement of subject and learning specialists spanning all grades enhances collaboration. Regular faculty meetings encourage connections across divisions and departments. Faculty in all grades use a guidance model with regular meetings that enable all faculty and relevant staff to meet and review the progress of each student. An overall student:teacher ratio of 6:1 promotes close relationships with students and their families. Experienced and well‐educated (three‐quarters hold an advanced degree), Town’s teachers are wholeheartedly committed to professional development. All participate in growth opportunities on and off campus during the school year, and more than 80 percent take advantage of Town’s well‐funded summer grant program that supports curricular projects, classes, and travel connected to the curriculum. 4 ADMINISTRATION AND GOVERNANCE Head of School Tony Featherston joined Town in 2012 and has worked closely with the senior administrative team, which includes the Heads of the three divisions, the Chief Financial Officer, the Director of Admissions, the Director of Institutional Advancement, the Director of Community and Diversity, and the Dean of Faculty/Director of Curricular Innovation. Also reporting to the Head of School are the Director of Security and Facilities, the Athletics Director, the Director of Technology, the Auxiliary Programs Directors, and the Head’s Assistant. The Dean of Faculty/Director of Curricular Innovation reports to the three Division Heads. Town is governed by a well‐functioning 23‐member Board of Trustees composed primarily of current and past parents as well as the Head of School. Two faculty Trustees are nominated by the Faculty Committee, a self‐perpetuating, senior group of faculty that acts as an advisory group to the Head of School. The faculty Trustees are elected by the full Board and are full voting members. The President of the Parents’ Association serves as an ex officio member.

While over 3,500 students of color entered school with the guidance of Early Steps, it is humbling to know that the impact has been so much greater. We hear time and © 2012 Victoria Jackson Photography again how families, schools and lives have been trans- formed as a result of the doors of opportunity that were opened with the help of Early Steps. Doors where academic excellence is the norm and children learn and play with others whose life’s experiences are not the same as theirs, benefitting all children. We are proud of our 30-year partnership with now over 50 New York City independent schools who nurture, educate and challenge our children to be the best that they can be. They couldn’t be in better hands! Tonight we honor four Early Steps alumni. These accomplished young adults all benefited from the wisdom of their parents who knew the importance of providing their children with the best possible education beginning in Kindergarten.

  • REVIEW 2013 - 2014 Dear Friend of Randall’S Island Park
    REVIEW 2013 - 2014 Dear Friend of Randall’s Island Park, Thank you for your interest in Randall’s Island Park. As Co-Chairs of the Randall’s Island Park Alliance (RIPA) Board of Trustees, we invite you to enjoy our 2013-2014 Review. RIPA’s continued success in reaching our goals comes through the great work and generosity of our many partners and supporters – a true Alliance in support of the Park’s programs, fields, facilities and natural areas. You will find in the following pages photos and acknowledgements of the many local program partners, donors, volunteers, elected officials and City and State agencies who have helped to bring us to this point. We are especially grateful to the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation for extraordinary support and guidance throughout our successful partnership of more than 20 years. Following its recent transformation, Randall’s Island Park’s visibility continues to grow, and more and more New Yorkers are visiting its shores. Our fellow Board Members, challenged and inspired by what the Park can be, continue to contribute countless hours and crucial support. In 2014 the Board undertook a comprehensive plan for improvement and expansion of our free public programs. Visits to the Island have nearly doubled in recent years, to approximately 3 million! We expect our increased free programming will continue to expand our universe of visitors and friends. Many thanks to these millions of fans who visit and who compliment the Park through positive feedback on our social media, sharing photos and observations, and who help us to grow our Alliance every day.

  • Rising Above the Rancor: a Letter to Students at an Historic Moment
    Rising Above the Rancor: A Letter to Students at an Historic Moment Dear Students, Over the last eight months, your world has utterly changed. You are living through a moment in history that may well prove pivotal to the future of our world, our nation, and our city. You are bearing witness to an unprecedented set of interlocking and cascading crises, and many of you are telling us that you have lost trust in some of our leaders–locally, nationally, and globally. There is no getting around it: you are coming of age in an extraordinarily turbulent moment in history. Yet as educators, we are in the business of developing deeply optimistic futures. Your futures. To be sure, there is difficult work ahead. But nothing truly worthwhil e comes easily. As the Nobel Peace Prize winning South African theologian Desmond Tutu said: “ Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness." Practicing hope allows us to harness the energy of hardships and tragedies and transform them into generative possibilities for the future. Our world needs you to care deeply, engage wholeheartedly, and commit to action fueled with hope in order to build a better future. We want to do all we can to make this happen for you—not after you graduate, but right now. In a year marked by intense political rancor, we write to you to remind you of a simple truism: hope in the face of adversity spurs collective action. Democracy only works when we all commit ourselves to it. Think about how high those stakes are.
