This School offers an idea learning environment with average class sizes, positive community support, individual attention, and encouragement which help all students and staff members strive for excellence.
Education provided serves a diverse, multilingual student population of immigrants to the United States. They seek to provide each student with a language-rich learning experience that moves them to a point where they can read, write and communicate effectively in English and their native language. The students will learn to use their minds well to critically analyze and respond to complex real-world issues. They will use what they learn to become successful academically and professionally and to become advocates for themselves and their communities.
The community enjoys the best of both worlds, being an easy commute to the cultural centers and employers in the neighboring cities of Schenectady, Saratoga, Albany and Troy, yet lacking the traffic congestion of many adjoining towns. There is fine restaurants and stores, varied houses of worship, excellent community libraries, a fully equipped YMCA, modern community playgrounds, and several parks with playing fields, ice rinks, hiking and ski trails.
