Important Note: Starting in 2019-20, MS 8 will be MS 915


MS 8 is a diverse learning community dedicated to creativity, intellectual curiosity, and student voice and agency, with the aim of developing life-long learners and engaged citizens. We are committed to the intellectual, artistic, social, emotional, ethical, and physical development of each child.

Our middle school is a point of entry for a significant number of new students. All are challenged to reach their greatest potential through a culturally responsive program of study that includes three years of advisory and a curriculum that values the arts, foreign language, and physical education. We also offer the opportunity for 8th graders to take several Regents exams. Our Explorations give students several two-week interdisciplinary opportunities to deeply study one essential question, and use the resources of New York City and their community to create and present culminating projects.
