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.

If you have an 11th grader you should have received an email with all the information you need. Just in case it went to Junk, you’ll find everything you need on the website thanks to Meibell Contreras!!
Seeking Town Meeting Scribes
/Another opportunity to meet your four volunteer hours commitment! There are only two Town Meeting scribes, and ideally there should be four.
It’s not a hard gig - attend Town Meeting once a month or less (if there are four of us!) and take notes, put them into MailChimp (easy to learn!!) and send to the parent community.
It’s fun way to get an idea of what’s going on in the school-wide community and to see snippets of kids’ performances and talents (music, dance, comedy, acting, art and more) and share news of college acceptances and opportunities and events with other families. Sometimes we Scribes take our kids out to lunch afterward, which feels special.
If anyone has the flexibility to come to school on occasional Wednesdays for an hour, from 10:40-11:45 or so, we’d LOVE some more volunteers. Email Marjorie Ingall snarly@snarly.com.
