Institute for Collaborative Education
Our mission is to open every door possible for our students. With a commitment to student-centered education, our vision is to provide a nurturing, creative, and challenging academic program that meets the unique needs of all students. Our dedication to maintaining small class sizes enables personal relationships and allows teachers and advisors to make meaningful connections with every student, fostering a culture of safety, support, and belonging.
At NY.ICE we develop independent thinkers through collaborative work, authentic problem-solving and inquiry-based projects. Students take risks, test theories, and learn from their hands-on experiences.
Upon graduation, we expect NY.ICE students to be a force in the world, ready to thrive in the academic, creative, social, and intellectual journeys that await them in college and beyond.

Spring Fling Message From Pete
/Hey ICE Community,
Once a year we all get to kick back together, celebrate the school, raise a little money for the students, and that day is coming up soon. Yes, I mean Spring Fling! May 3 at the Dumbo Loft. I have a great time there every year and I have every reason to believe that the party this year will be better than ever.
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in just a few weeks from now.
Pete
