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.

Calling All Grant Writers
/The Grant Writing Committee is looking for more help to research and execute grants to help our school. This is an at-large committee that for the most part checks in via email and works in small groups with concessional in-person meetings. Strong writers welcome but no experience necessary. Please email Lisaburdige@gmail.com if you are interested.
Join Battle of the Bands Comittee
/Over the years we have had the tradition of hosting a Battle of the Bands to allow NYC middle and high school rock and pop bands the opportunity to play a real NY club for kudos and small prizes. We have not had an event for 2 years and are looking for help to get it up and running. Ties to the music industry welcome but not necessary. Please email Lisaburdige@gmail.com if you are interested.
The I.C.E. Library
/Shane Fleming and Ava Hanadel who will both be 7th graders are heading up this project. They have already received a batch of books from the New York Times and raised 1800 dollars to date.
What We Need
Here are some of the things we need:
A computer to scan checked out books, take inventory and all the other stuff on a computer a librarian needs to do.
Someone to get the mice out, but not kill them! because that would be mean.
Stuff to make the room hospitable and get a swifter sweeper so we don't have to breathe in the 100 year old dust which seems to be bringing back my cough-varient-asthma.
Some bean bags so we don't have to read on an old concrete floor that’s probably covered in fossilized mice poop.
Getting books---of course.
Repainting the room so we can get rid of the graffiti.
We need to get one of those slide-ey ladders so we don't have to painstakingly drag the ladder to get where we need to go and then just falling off the ladder.

We will be raising funds all summer and into the early fall!
Thank you,
