Unlocking the door to education welcomes a future full of opportunity & success.

Our schools:

Focus on systematic growth instead of just test scores.

Equality’s curriculum systematically reinforces incremental growth in core academic courses, while ensuring that our scholars have the personal and emotional resources needed to be successful in life after graduation.

We believe in meeting our scholars where they are and working with them to develop the tools they will need to excel, wherever their life journey may take them.

We believe that curiosity and patient, slow thinking are tools that will serve our scholars best in college and in their careers after graduation.

a well-rounded curriculum

Equality does not expect every scholar to be a masterful mathematician, reader, artist or scientist when they join us.

We believe in providing remediation in literacy and math for anyone who comes to us below grade level. We are intentional in providing scaffolds and supports, and we are careful to reduce those supports as each scholar achieves new levels of independence.

We believe our scholars are capable of — and actually enjoy — the “heavy lifting” of critical thinking. As a result, we strive to infuse critical thinking opportunities throughout the school day.

Educating the whole person

Everyone in our community needs help and guidance sometimes. We believe that the most important factor in giving good support is listening.

Parent discussions, scholar advisories and staff feedback / focus groups help all of us stay aligned with our shared goal— ensuring each Equality graduate has the greatest possible chance of success in the next step of their journey, whether it’s going to college, starting their career, or a combination of those two.

inclusive not exclusive

Engaging scholars with various strengths & needs

On average, we serve a higher population of Students with Disabilities (SWDs) than our comparison district schools, and that is because at Equality we work hard to support this special population well. Our SWD Program provides individualized supports for all scholars inside of the mainstream classroom, along with a variety of additional remediation services.

Our English Language Learning Program results in ELL graduation rates that far exceed the District and New York City results.

parent teacher association

engaging parents as partners

Equality values parental involvement in all levels of school decision making. An indicator of high parent satisfaction is a parent’s choice to stay with Equality from MS to HS.

There are a lot of options for our families for high school choice. In this past 8th grade class, 85% of our MS scholars chose to stay with Equality and continue on to our HS. This is a huge indicator of parent satisfaction.
