The Abraham Joshua Heschel School is a pluralistic Nursery to 12 Jewish day school in New York City. It holds two central values, pluralism and egalitarianism. Located in Manhattan, the school seeks to follow the example of its namesake, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel.Other "Heschel Schools" are located in Los Angeles, California and Toronto, Canada. Despite having similar names, the three schools are otherwise unrelated.Unlike other Jewish Day Schools or other religiously affiliated schools, The Abraham Joshua Heschel School is unique in that it had a much more liberal ideology. It was founded on the principles of Abraham Joshua Heschel who marched for civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr. He believed in Judaism as a tradition for connection to a singular ineffable being without criticizing people who believed in other things. The school emphasizes diversity amongst its students and their differing religious traditions as well as amongst the ideas brought up by its students. The leadership values those who think differently and encourages debate.SchoolThe Abraham Joshua Heschel School was originally housed in three buildings: The Early Childhood Center and lower school was located on West 89th Street, the middle school on West 91st Street, and a newer high school on 60th Street . In the summer of 2009, it was announced that construction would begin on a new building at 61st Street and West End Avenue, adjacent to the high school building, which would house the Early Childhood, lower school, and middle school divisions. The planned new facility was referred to as the "One Campus Plan," and construction began in 2009. The new facility would include space to expand the number of classes in Kindergarten through 8th grade, and the school began running extra classes starting with the class entering kindergarten in the 2010-2011 school year.

The Beacon School is a formerly alternative assessment, now "performance-based assessment" public high school on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, near Lincoln Center and Columbus Circle. The initial founding of Beacon in 1993 was intended as an alternative to the Regents Exam-based testing system in favor of portfolio-based assessment. The school's purpose was also purportedly to keep class sizes down and total student population at, or just above, one thousand students. The total population, for example, was once listed in a 1998 high school selection guide as "less than 600 students", though now has 1,157 students.

Professional Children's School is a not-for-profit, college preparatory school enrolling 200 students (mostly working or aspiring child actors or dancers) in grades 6-12. The school was founded in New York City in 1914 to provide an academic education to young people working on the New York stage, in Vaudeville, or "on the road".HistoryProfessional Children's School was founded by two reform-minded New Yorkers, Jane Harris Hall and Jean Greer Robinson. Ardent theatre-goers, the women learned of the plight of the city's professional children - young people working on the New York stage. Public and private schools of the day did not accommodate the schedules of stage children and, more often than not, children were simply skipping school to work on the stage. Some reformers talked of banning children from the stage entirely. Determined to help these "unknown friends on the other side of the footlights," as Mrs. Robinson would later write, the women decided to found a school especially for New York's professional children. On January 6, 1914, PCS admitted its first two students in borrowed quarters in the Theater District. An immediate success, the school enrolled over 100 students within its first year.After moving into a series of temporary spaces, in 1927 PCS settled into three floors of 1860 Broadway, a 17-story commercial building at 61st Street. With enrollment approaching 300 students by the 1930s, the Associated Press wrote, "you would never dream the stern-faced skyscraper was Broadway's little red schoolhouse." Children were now respected members of "the profession" and roles for children were commonplace on Broadway. "One suspects that the chief reason for this general excellence is the existence of an organization known as the Professional Children's School," wrote Playbill Magazine in 1949. Just a few of the major Broadway productions which featured PCS students included Annie Get Your Gun, Carousel, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Children's Hour, The Innocents, The King and I, I Remember Mama, Life With Father, Member of the Wedding, South Pacific, and The Sound of Music.

New York, NY 10023

The campus is faced on Amsterdam Avenue by a wide elevated plaza which features a self-weathering steel memorial sculpture by William Tarr. The same steel, called Mayari R, was used by architect Frost Associates in the curtain wall of the building, the interior of which has an arrangement of perimeter corridors with floor-to-ceiling windows, leaving many classrooms on the inner side windowless. The school is across West 65th Street from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. The building was formerly the location of Martin Luther King, Jr. High School, which opened in 1975 and was closed in 2005 by the New York City Department of Education due to a history of low academic performance and a low enrollment rate, as well as a history of violence, including the shooting of two tenth grade students inside the school on January 15, 2002, the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. The closing of the school was included by Chancellor Joel Klein and Mayor Michael Bloomberg in the education reform policy. The high school graduated its final class on June 27, 2005.

Juilliard's Pre-College Division offers a thorough and comprehensive program of music instruction for talented young people who show the potential to pursue a professional career in music. It meets on Saturdays for 30 weeks between September and May. Students accepted into the division have demonstrated their abilities at an early age, along with outstanding capabilities to work with focus and purpose. At the School, these young musicians enjoy an atmosphere where their artistic gifts and technical skills can grow and flourish. As part of Lincoln Center, Juilliard's proximity to the Metropolitan Opera, Avery Fisher Hall, the New York State Theater, the Vivian Beaumont Theater, and the New York Public Library at Lincoln Center provides wonderful opportunities for students to expand and deepen their knowledge of music, opera, drama, and dance. The Pre-College Division accepts students on the basis of a performance audition, which is heard by the faculty of the student's chosen major. Acceptance is based on artistic and technical merit, as well as the number of available openings in each department.
