The use of technology in grades JK and higher provides opportunities for the transformation of teaching and learning and enables students to investigate, create, communicate, collaborate, organize and be responsible for their own learning and actions. It allows students to make connections and reach a deeper understanding of its relevance and applicability to their everyday lives. Learners develop and apply strategies for critical and creative thinking, engage in inquiry, make connections, and apply new understandings and skills in different contexts.

We are ready to use, virtual classroom technologies in times of emergencies like the recent COVID-19 quarantines. We are very proud to be one of the first schools in NYC to seamlessly pivot to online learning and wonderfully revert back to in school learning since September 2020. We had zero school closures due to the pandemic!

ISEE, SSAT, and SHSAT exams

All of our exmitting students do very well on their emissions exams.

Extended learning is assigned on a weekly basis, distinct from traditional homework, our students are actively engaged in their daily learning and so the work that is taken home is an extension of what is taught in class, which is meant to support or reinforce their lines of inquiry.

The suggested amount of time really depends on the grade level. Extended learning in Kindergarten is distinct from extended learning in 5th grade. To quantify extended learning, it can be anywhere from 45 minutes to 90 minutes on a daily basis.

Personalized learning pathways enable us to meet each student where they are and support them in getting to their next level. At Pine Street School, inquiry is nurtured from age 2 and cultivated into increasingly advanced processes year by year. Typically by 1st or 2nd Grade, our students are self-sufficient in developing their own complex inquiries and demonstrating impressive skills in self-management and critical thinking.

We do not have an educational psychologist on staff at this time.

For Grades Kindergarten and higher, there is an admissions assessment that is required as part of Pine Street Schools Admissions Steps.

The MAP assessment is administered during the admissions process. It is an untimed assessment that usually takes around 90 minutes to complete (45 minutes for Mathematics and 45 minutes for English Language Usage), we encourage students to take their time with each question as it is an adaptive test (the more they answer correctly, then the questions get harder, and the opposite with every question answered incorrectly).

It depends on the grade level, contact admissions@greenivy.com for more information.

We offer rolling admissions which means we roll until we are full in each grade level.

Included in the space is a 1,600 square-foot athletics floor including a gym, locker rooms, and a dance and yoga studio. We have two movement rooms for younger students. Students also go offsite for swimming.

Pine Street School is New York's only IB World School offering Spanish and Mandarin Immersion, Nursery Ones to 8th Grade.

In dual language immersion, native Spanish or Mandarin Chinese speakers and native English speakers maintain and develop their first language while acquiring native-like communication and literacy skills in a second language. Students have two teachers in the classroom, each working in English or Spanish/Mandarin Chinese in small groups, all day long. Academic content is taught and assessed in two languages over an extended period of time.

PSS' aim is to create a secure, caring environment in which students optimize their development intellectually, physically, socially, and emotionally. Students are encouraged to inquire, think critically, work collaboratively, and to construct meaning, reflect and take action, all the while having their natural curiosity in the world around them stimulated.
