The school's student body is 78% Caucasian, which is somewhat unusual for a public school in NYC.

The school was originally located several blocks to the north on 85th Street. The current red brick building on Madison Avenue between 81st and 82nd Streets was constructed in 1953.The school's first principal Katherine Blake, the daughter of the school's namesake, served in that capacity for 34 years and demanded that the pacifist hymn "I did not raise my son to be a soldier" be sung at every assembly.AcademicsP.S. 6 is a Teacher's College "Mentor School." It offers a particularly strong writing program based on the principles of Lucy Calkins. Students are expected to write plays, poetry, essays and short fiction by the time they graduate. The school also places a special emphasis on Art education. Its location, two blocks from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, allows the students particularly good access to view the works of famous artists.

Die German-American Steuben Parade ist ein traditionsreicher Umzug, der jedes Jahr am dritten Samstag im September auf der Fifth Avenue in New York City stattfindet. Die Parade ist eines der größten Ereignisse im deutsch-amerikanischen Festkalender. Sie wurde 1957 von deutschstämmigen Amerikanern gegründet. Diese wollten die Traditionen ihrer Heimat aufrechterhalten.Die Deutschamerikaner sind bis heute die größte Einwanderergruppe in den USA. Etwa 15 Prozent aller US-Amerikaner sind deutscher Herkunft oder Abstammung. Allein in New York City leben etwa 500.000 Deutschstämmige. 2013 wurde die Parade von mehreren tausend Menschen besucht.GeschichteDie erste Steubenparade wurde 1957 in der Nachbarschaft Ridgewood im New Yorker Stadtteil Queens abgehalten. Dort lebten damals die meisten Deutschamerikaner der Stadt. Da sich über die Jahre immer mehr Teilnehmer anmeldeten, wurde die Parade auf die Fifth Avenue in Manhattan verlegt, wo sie heute von der 64. aufwärts zur 86. Straße zieht. Die 86. Straße ist für die Deutschamerikaner wiederum von besonderer Bedeutung. Hier, in der Nachbarschaft Yorkville, war bis in die 1970er das deutschamerikanische Zentrum New Yorks. Die 86. Straße selbst trug den inoffiziellen Beinamen „Sauerkraut Boulevard“ und beherbergte deutsche Restaurants, Vereinshäuser, Bäckereien und Metzgereien.Von Steuben und die ParadeDie Gründer einigten sich darauf, die Parade nach Freiherr Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben zu benennen, einem hochdekorierten preußischen Offizier, der in seiner zweiten Karriere als US-amerikanischer General die Kontinentalarmee erneuerte und zum Helden des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges unter dem Oberbefehl George Washingtons wurde. Steuben war ein sehr aktiver Freimaurer, er wurde um 1778 in die Trinity Lodge Nr. 12 in New York aufgenommen.
At Manhattan Mandarin, we believe that strong communication skills are the basis of cross-cultural understanding. With the economic and political ties between The United States and China growing stronger each year, ensuring that both businesspeople and students have a deep cultural and linguistic understanding of China is crucial. ZGT’s team has extensive mentoring and business experience in the Chinese market and an intimate understanding of mastering the Chinese language. ZGT is debunking the myth that Chinese is an impossibly difficult language to learn and we are eager to bring our extensive knowledge of the language and culture to you. With the right approach, Chinese is the logical choice for many students and professionals to allow them to expand not only their linguistic skills but also their reasoning capacities, confidence in learning, and professional abilities. ZGT utilizes our experience and passion of China’s language and culture with the hopes of forging a stronger and more prosperous relationship between our two countries for future generations.
