Our older kid went through public schools and we always wished he had more support with math so with my younger one, I wanted something stronger, and I'm happy I found it. She has a strong math and science curriculum and they teach it in a way where kids dont feel pressured. She started explaining fractions to ME, which made me laugh because I forgot half of this stuff. So far I am absolutely happy with it.

I tell every parent I know to go to Big Apple. My little girl used to cling to my leg because she's super shy, but the teachers here are magic. They built trust with her so fast, and now she literally can't wait to get inside. The way they let kids explore and learn through play is unreal. I toured a bunch of places before this one and I'm so glad I waited, nothing else came close. Worth every penny.

I was researching after-school programs in private NYC schools very closely and they caught my eye right away. I came in for a tour and spoke with the management and the staff and it was a true pleasure. Highly recommend this school and their after-school program to all!

Both my kids go here and the thing I keep telling other parents is how different the elementary school experience feels compared to what I went through finding school in Brooklyn. Small classes, teachers who remember your kid’s name and actually know their strengths and weaknesses. The extracurricul...

Big Apple is truly excellent! My daughter started when she was 9, and I was shocked, she didn’t cry at all on her first day. Instead, she came home saying how much she loved it! The teachers were so kind, and she enjoyed studying, eating, and playing with her friends. We’re so happy with this school...
