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.
The first PTA meeting of the school year will be held on Wednesday September 18th at 6:00pm room 518. Our presentation will be:
After School Programs Q&A with Kristin Gruppuso, After School Director
Kristen Bonnicci, Assistant Principal
Pete Karp, Principal
About a year and a half ago, an ICE student, (now alumni), suggested in a Girls' Leadership meeting, that the school provide feminine products in the girls' bathroom. We agree! Since that time, we've done our best to keep it well stocked - so students can take what they need, when they need it.
If you'd like to help contribute to the effort, please take a look at our Amazon Wishlist specifically for the bathroom. (If you're not so into Amazon, or trying to lighten your carbon footprint and would rather send different products than listed, please feel free, and have them shipped to: 345 E. 15th Street / 5th Floor - rm. 518 (office) / New York, NY 10003
Thank you for all the ways you help support our community!
Hello I.C.E. Community,
Amongst the many jobs I do at I.C.E., two very important activities are running the photography program as well as the international trips to Nepal and Malaysia.
I am in the process of trying to develop and advance the quality and depth of these activities.
Some of the things I would like to do are:
Bring in photographers who would be willing to show & tell the work they have done. I am hoping these photographers can show students different “ways of seeing”
through photography (whether it’d be fashion photography, portrait work, editing
techniques, landscape photography, etc.). I understand there are a number of parents who are professional photographers and/or involved in the photo-journalism field in other ways and would be willing to volunteer their time to show & tell their work and create a workshop for the students, please contact me. Also, if you know photographers, or those connected with the photo-journalism field, it would be helpful if you could put them in touch with me.
Provide possible studio space, open loft space etc. where myself and my students could, on occasion, practice photography skills outside of the school.
Donate photo equipment materials: these could be point and shoot digital cameras, cell phones with picture taking capabilities (these are really needed – it turns out these are very effective for using with students on the international trips. These phone would be used ONLY for their photo taking capabilities), and film cameras, and, any darkroom
supplies. Please keep in mind, of course any donated materials must be in good, working
condition.
Please feel free to contact me through my email address charliepotato@gmail.com or through the school.
