The Lang SchoolNew York, NY
OVERVIEW
About

The Lang School offers a child-centered, empirically-validated, STEM- and STEAM-driven education for high potential, gifted, and twice-exceptional (2e) learners in grades K-12. At Lang, students thrive – often for the first time – learning at their level with ability and affinity peers in small classes of no more than 8 to 12 students (depending on grade level). Our mission is to create a safe and engaging learning environment for students with an emphasis on creative thinking and assets-based approaches. Our students are both unique and diverse, and we seek out and celebrate diversity in our community – in our identities (race, ethnicity, gender expression, socioeconomic status), as well as our backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Our rigorous, standards-based academics evolve to challenge students as they grow and develop commitment and independence. Our Talent Development program inspires passions, creativity and a sense of purpose, and our integrated and 1:1 supports address academic challenges, self-regulation, and social-emotional learning. We are a progressive school that incubates tomorrow’s thought leaders and innovators.
