Individualized Education.
Reimagined.

Supportive Learning for Every Student

We prioritize personal attention, encourage curiosity, and provide a challenging academic environment. Our small class size ensures that every child receives the individualized care and attention to reach their potential.

Motivating Success By Building on Strengths

Our team of educators works closely with students to discover their unique strengths and passions. By building on these strengths, we create a learning environment that fosters intrinsic motivation and promotes a love of learning.

Boundless Opportunities for Exposure and Growth

We believe that a well-rounded education is crucial for every child’s development. Students have the opportunity to explore not only traditional academic subjects but also a wide range of pursuits including music, sports and technology.

Tribeca Prep is a 12-month independent special education early childhood and elementary school.
Our goal is to prepare our students for a less restrictive environment by developing their academic and social skills.

Our WHOLE child approach

At Tribeca Prep, we celebrate our children’s successes and provide an individualized education program for each child, ensuring that every student benefits from the tailored care they deserve. Recognizing that each student possesses a unique combination of skills and challenges, our mission is to support the journey towards success in all dimensions, realizing the full potential of each child. 

We are reimagining special education by redefining the school experience through a data-driven approach, meeting each child where they are, and building on their individual strengths.

By offering opportunities previously unavailable to neurodiverse children, our personalized approach seamlessly combines social and emotional development with engaging academics, allowing our students to flourish and achieve their extraordinary potential. Rooted in research, proven educational and evidenced-based strategies, and a strong emphasis on building academic foundations, our methods have been carefully designed to facilitate optimal learning experiences.
