Why choose an elementary school like The Alexander Robertson School?
As a New York City parent, you are in the fortunate position of having a wide range of independent school choices available to you and of deciding which school is the right match for your child.
The Alexander Robertson School provides a small, safe and nurturing setting in which children learn to be thoughtful independent learners and lay the foundation for a life-long love of learning.
Our commitment to the elementary school-age child and to small class sizes ensures that children develop the skills required to succeed in their later years. Experience tells us that children behave better in a small setting. Our teachers are dedicated, caring, and enthusiastic. Every person in our community knows every child. As a result, no child slips through the cracks.
At The Alexander Robertson School our children develop at their own pace without the distractions of middle or upper school influences. Our children develop friendships throughout the student body: in Reading Buddies, assemblies, shared recesses, school-wide lunches, field trips, service projects, Computer Club, and after school activities such as the violin program and the Oasis after-school program. Shared special events strengthen our school and reinforce the close bonds that the children feel toward one another. Age-appropriate expectations and behavior are a luxury The Alexander Robertson School offers in a society that often rushes young children. Our returning alumni and their parents typically reflect upon their enduring affection for their early school years spent at The Alexander Robertson School.
We work closely with parents and their children to find the right fit for each child as they transition to middle school. Independent, public and parochial schools have reported that our children are secure and caring individuals who are academically ready for any educational environment.
We look forward to showing you our school.
