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.

Immunization Requirements for 2018-2019
/The New York City Department of Health and the New York City Department of Education require that all students have the proper immunization. Please plan ahead and talk to your pediatrician about your child and vaccines. Please refer to the attached Parent Information Form for 2018 - 2019 School Year to be prepared for any immunizations your child may need for school in September 2018.
Immunization requirements have changed for school-age children in April, 2016 so please be mindful that some immunizations have been added and your child may require additional vaccines.

Family Income Inquiry Form Online
/
ICE is mailing out your Family Income Inquiry Form which can be completed online in the beginning of July. Please take the time to fill out the online form beginning in July. The Family Income Inquiry Form is a key factor in determining whether school's are eligible to receive Title 1 and other funding. If you prefer not to complete the Family Income Inquiry Form online over the summer we will send a paper form home with your child in September.
Thank you for your help and have a great summer!
Announcing...The ICE Recording Studio is Amazing!
/Announcing...The ICE Recording Studio is Amazing!
After a year and a half under construction, the ICE music department is thrilled to announce that thanks to funding from the PTA, our brand new recording studio is finished. It is fully equipped with all the necessary microphones, software, mixers, and other music geek essentials. The studio is also being used as a rehearsal space since it has a jazz drum kit, a keyboard and three amps. And importantly, it is completely sound proofed! This year it has already been used to record three albums featuring 11th and 12th grade students.
On June 30th 2018, Free Basement, a band formed by ICE 12G students Stella, Kenny and Marlon will release an album entirely recorded at the school and it will be available on Spotify and iTunes. In the meantime, you can listen to their single "Snow Day" here:
And here is a brief primer to understand some recording studio lingo that you may now here being thrown around:
this won’t take long: gather food, blankets and toiletries
what does this switch do?: cover your ears as quickly as possible
one more take and we’ll nail it!: start another fresh pot of coffee
i think the bass and drums should be louder: the vocalist is not attending the mix session
After School
/The last day of after school will be on Friday, June 22nd. Thank you for such an amazing year! If you are interested in enrolling your child in summer camp please email Kristin for more information.
