Our Mission

Best Special Education School in NYC | Top Private School for Anxiety in NYC | Child Playing Hopscotch On the roof

West End Day School is More Than a School - it is a community of students, staff, and parents who have a shared vision. We create a safe haven for learning, strive to be a trusted partner for parents, and foster the development of resiliency in children to build a strong foundation for their lifelong success.

Together We...

  • Establish an individualized and challenging educational program that supports our bright students and their unique learning styles.
  • Cultivate our students' inner strengths by recognizing the impact emotions have on learning.
  • Provide a flexible atmosphere, where children feel comfortable meeting high expectations. 
  • Promote, nurture, and engage relationships, because they are central to our well-being. 
  • Ensure that families feel valued, supported, and understood.
