Ella Baker is a small, progressive school founded on the model of Central Park East in East Harlem. The school exudes openness and informality a place where teachers and administrators are addressed by their first name and older children stop to say hello to the younger ones. Two grades of kids are taught together (K-1) (1-2) (2-3), so students have the same teacher for two years. Children are encouraged to explore their own interests and work at their own pace. Ella Baker is on the list of 209 schools that the chancellor exempted from the citywide uniform curriculum.  |
