Serving children from preschool to 8th grade, Bank Street has earned a reputation as one of the country’s leading independent schools rooted in an innovative, progressive approach to education that is backed by more than a century of research and knowledge about how children learn best. Learn More Value of an 8th-Grade School Bank Street’s preschool through 8th-grade model nurtures the healthy social-emotional development, academic success, and leadership skills of all students. As the oldest children in our school, our 8th graders inhabit the role of mentors and leaders in their community rather than being exposed to the world of older adolescent behavior. As they prepare to graduate, they are ready to thoughtfully select and enter a high school that fits their interests, strengths, and goals. Learn More Producing Thoughtful Citizens At Bank Street, students engage in their studies through a social justice lens as they build an appreciation for the richness and diversity of other cultures. Through our rich Racial JusticeAdvocacy curriculum, our students grow into compassionate, open-minded citizens who think critically about the world around them and are inspired to recognize what it takes to achieve a more equitable, just, and democratic society for all. Learn More Academic Excellence At Bank Street, students are challenged to meet ambitious goals for academic growth through a process that encourages them to ask questions, investigate, and experiment to build their critical thinking and problem-solving skills and achieve a nuanced understanding of all content. Our educators look for teachable moments within each student’s reach and assist as they develop new understandings and ideas to help prepare them for success in school and in life. Learn More Life After Bank Street Upon leaving Bank Street, our graduates are prepared to fulfill their greatest ambitions with a strong sense of confidence in themselves as learners, thinkers, and doers.
