The East-West School of International Studies, a new small school in a borough known mostly for large schools, offers academic rigor in a nurturing environment. Opened in September 2006 with support from New Visions for Public Schools, an education reform group, and the Asia Society —the latter a recipient of a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to set up a nationwide network of small schools focusing on international studies— the school launched with two grades, 7th and 9th. It will add new grades yearly until it is a full 6th through 12th grade program.  |
