Academics
ADMISSIONS / Welcome
At Grace, we believe that intellectual excellence, ethical virtue, and joy are not competing values—they are mutually reinforcing ones.
Our students are curious, motivated, and eager to engage, and we ask a great deal of them. What distinguishes us is not the rigor alone, but what it is built upon: a community where students feel genuinely known and a pedagogy built on the belief that joy and intellectual ambition belong together.
We are looking for students who are curious and motivated, and for families who are ready to engage. In turn, we bring intention and close attention to every conversation. Our community grows stronger each year because of the distinct perspectives, experiences, and stories that new families bring to it.
The school welcomes families who value the important partnership between school and home. We look forward to getting to know yours.
With best wishes,
Camilla Campbell
Director of Enrollment Management
“Grace’s pedagogy excited me because not many schools talk about the pedagogy of joy. And this is not just happy and fun times; this is really thinking about the why behind learning.”

Our admissions team is dedicated to partnering with every family throughout the process, guided by our Mission Statement. We approach this work with care, aspiring to make the experience welcoming, thoughtful, and transparent—one that reflects the spirit of Grace. We look forward to meeting you.
Our students reflect the rich diversity of New York City and its environment. Located in downtown Manhattan, Grace’s neighborhood is not incidental to a Grace education, it is a major part of it. The city is our classroom, our community, and our backyard.
