Where students learn without ceilings. Where the question that is most often asked is “Why?” Where we teach them how to think not what to think. This is Speyer. Our accelerated, interdisciplinary curriculum is grounded in the leading research and best practices in gifted education. We are a school for gifted learners — however the word “gifted” is not the most important part of that statement. Our focus is on the word “learners.” We are passionate about challenging our students every day in a community specifically developed to foster their insatiable quest for learning and help them discover who they are as people. Because of our intentional K-8 model, Speyer graduates attend and thrive at the top high schools in NYC and we send them there braver, kinder, and more prepared for the opportunities that lie ahead. Unlock your child’s potential at Speyer, the only independent school in NYC designed for gifted learners.
