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.

Help Needed: 9th Grade Physics
/Dear ICE Community,
9th Grade Physics classes will spend Cycle 4 designing an electronic device to assist users with accessibility constraints in their daily lives.
We are seeking speakers who have experience with accessibility concerns to provide insight to our community about common challenges that exist in their lives or in the lives of those they work with. We view this topic as very broad and would like as many perspectives and voices to participate as possible, so do not hesitate to ask if you would like further clarification.
If you or someone you know is interested and available to meet with the 9th grade from late February through mid May, please contact Sammi or have them contact her directly.
Thank you!
-Sammi and Daniel Z
Request for Yoga Mats
/ICE has started a new 9th and 10th grade Wellness elective that plans to include 2 days of yoga. We are asking for families to donate new or gently used yoga mats. The mats can be dropped off in the main office.
Thank you for your support!
