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.

We celebrated our seniors' plans for after graduation today with a picnic in Stuyvesant Park! We are proud of our students, who will be pursuing a variety of college and career options for their next steps. Our students also received a range of impressive scholarships and awards, including 2 QuestBridge Scholars, 1 Posse Scholar, and 2 Garden of Dreams Scholarship Winners. Over a quarter of the Class of 2025 will be attending college with a scholarship or award that covers the cost of tuition.
