I have both my kids at Transfiguration School since pre K3 and they have both been led with love and care balanced with strong academic schooling. The parent community is very active creating a strong parent and school environment that helps the kids thrive. The administration and teachers always make time to answer questions or meet for any questions. My 8th grader is well prepared for high school next year. These are a few reasons why our school was awarded blue ribbons twice in recent years. We did have to supplement with extra SHSAT tutoring but that is standard in NYC to test for the specialized high schools.

My 3.5-year-old started with summer institute when she was 2.5 and then went on to the traditional 3k program. She has grown so much and the teachers and school administration are so transparent and open to feedback. The academic is rigorous and yet appropriate for the age group. We trek from West Village where our home is to the school and it's worth it!

This is my son's first time in school and he is currently in the early childhood campus in the DOE 3K program. He loves the school and adores all the staff. We are so grateful that our teachers, Ms.Wendy, Ms. Jackie, Ms. K, and Ms.Lau are so nurturing and attentive to every child. All the staff in the school care for all the children. As always with small kids, there were many details we wanted to communicate to the teacher. I was each time surprised by how the teachers found time to carefully respond to every message. The teachers took great care and loved organizing the classroom activity areas. The emphasis in this school year was on making friends, teamwork, and communication. We are loving our experience here at Transfiguration and it has been wonderful.

I could not recommend Transfiguration enough. From day 1 when we did our tour it was a fantastic experience. If my family lives in the area I'm sending all of my kids to their schools.
