Who We Are
Developing the Leaders for the Renaissance of New York
Renaissance is based on the conviction that a change in the destiny of a single individual can lead
to a change in the destiny of a community, nation, and ultimately humankind. Its mission as a
PK-12 school is to foster educated, responsible, and humanistic young leaders who will spark a
renaissance in New York through their own personal growth. Its graduates will be global citizens
with an abiding respect for peace, human rights, the environment, and sustainable development.
In a small, village-like setting, Renaissance provides a supportive environment. Staff and parents
work together to develop students' academic and leadership skills. Teachers collaborate on
developing integrated subject matter, innovative approaches to learning, and improved practice.
This ideal faculty-student ratio helps strengthen each student's sense of belonging.
