Academics West New York is the only K-12 school with a therapeutic accreditation in New York State. Our private special education school in Manhattan supports students with academic and social-emotional struggles. As a college preparatory program, students benefit from a customized educational experience. Our small class structure allows for individualized attention where students' academic goals can be met. Along with our robust academic program, therapy is also an integral component of each student’s program. Our available support services provide a safe space for students to work on emotional regulation, pro-social skills, and executive functioning. Our innovative model prepares students to become independent, resilient, and self-valuing adults.

We wrapped up our summer semester on a sweet note! 🍦☀️ Our students worked hard to fill up the Kudos Cookie Jar by showing kindness, flexibility, responsibility, and so many other positive actions throughout summer. As a well deserved reward Mister Softee stopped by Academics West for a special end-of summer treat! We’re so proud of our students and all the Kudos they earned this semester!

Here's a look back at Community Day! Community Day brought together the Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School to reflect on a year filled with growth, resilience, and unforgettable moments. From celebrating milestones and achievements to recognizing the unique journey of every student this ceremony was a reminder of what makes the Academics West community so special.

A special congratulations to our Upper School graduates as they crossed the stage and celebrated this exciting milestone. We are so proud of everything they have accomplished and can’t wait to see where their next chapter takes them. Thank you to our students, families, and faculty for making this year one to remember. Here’s to another year of helping students become the heroes of their own stories.

Looking back on an incredible track season we’re so proud of our Firebird student athletes! 🏃🔥 This season was filled with growth, determination, and teamwork. One of our Upper School students even stepped outside his comfort zone to compete in his very first 200-meter race crossing the finish line with confidence and grit. The season wrapped up with all four runners competing together in the relay a true reflection of the perseverance and support they built as a team.

Congratulations to our Firebirds on an amazing season. We can’t wait to see what’s next!
