Corlears School

Demonstrated by living our core values: compassion, growth, courage to act, responsibility, belonging, curiosity. You can see them cultivated in every experience for students, families and staff. Our curriculum appeals to student diversity and interest, and is rigorous and challenging. We understand each child comes to us with different talents, learning styles, and identities.

Corlears students learn, play and grow together in a school designed for who they are at ages 2 through 10. During these crucial formative years, we build a foundation of compassion, critical thinking, imagination and leadership, and cultivate a joy and confidence in learning that serves our graduates throughout their lives.

Thank you for your interest in Corlears, a school dedicated to the education of children from toddlers through 5th grade in the Chelsea section of New York City. Students at Corlears are intellectually curious, creative, and have the potential for great academic achievement, peer leadership, and emotional and social growth.

Each year 15-20 prestigious private and selective public middle schools give acceptances to Corlears graduates. The desirability of Corlears students as candidates provides terrific middle school choice for our graduates, and all go on to one of their top three choices.

As highly sought after candidates, middle schools are also meeting the financial needs of our students, and have provided nearly $1 million dollars in financial aid to Corlears graduates over the past four years.The reputation of Corlears' students remains consistent -- with over half of the middle schools admitting multiple graduates over the past 4 years.

Everyday with Super Saplings is a chance to learn, explore, and grow. Staffed by Corlears teachers, our Super Saplings campers will spend their days playing in our beautiful yard, engaging with art and music activities, and building their own vibrant community. In Budding Branches, rising Kindergarten and 1st graders get all the joy and adventure of Camp Corlears!
