Both of my kids have been at this school for 3 years now, and it was an excellent experience. The teachers are truly amazing, they take the time to get to know each child and their family. You can tell they genuinely care. The school is always striving to be better and is evolving constantly to make sure the children are getting the best opportunities and experiences.

I absolutely love the Big Apple Academy. We have been attending the school for 4 years now (5 children of varying ages). It is such a safe environment for both students and parents to send your children to. I have found them to be very helpful all around in helping raise our children. I am so grateful for that trust that I have in them. I'm grateful for the values that are taught that reflect what we are trying to teach at home as well. I will always recommend this private school to anyone. It is amazing!!!

My son has been at this school since Feb 2025, and he’s grown so much into the little man he’s becoming. Over the months, we’ve seen amazing progress in his development. The teachers are truly genuine, caring people who are committed to supporting each child’s education through their curriculum.

My kids love this place and I love to see them so happy on their way to achieving their dreams. It is a top-ranked private school in NY for a reason and I am so happy that we found it and enrolled here after all. Seeing the progress they are making makes my heart so full!
