Now that New York City middle school applications are open, you are probably thinking about the perfect environment for your child—one that will take into account their academic, social, and emotional needs as they enter the exciting and challenging pre-adolescent phase of their life. You’re certainly looking for a school where teachers will really get to know your child, and where they’ll be able to establish good social relationships quickly.

At The Browning School, a private K-12 boys’ school right across the Park at 62nd Street and Madison Avenue, we understand all about middle school boys. Our middle school program starts in Grade 6 and includes world languages and a robust arts program. Boys also have many leadership and service opportunities and take several educational overnight trips. Our Browning Learning System is designed to teach boys the executive functioning and studentship they need to master in order to be successful in our rigorous middle school and beyond. Our students learn the same organizational, notetaking, and study techniques in every academic class, and these skills are reinforced by teachers throughout the day. Small class sizes and an engaging athletics program ensure that your son will have lots of opportunities to meet new friends and discover new passions.

Browning’s Grade 6 program pays attention to the developmental needs of boys as they grow as learners.

Student support is easy to access, and the feedback you and your child will receive throughout the school year will allow him to be challenged to his fullest potential, providing a smooth transition into a new school. Browning is also opening a new high school building which means that your son will get the benefit of a fully K-8 environment at 62nd Street, while you have the peace of mind of knowing that he will not have to change schools again until college.
