Help support your child's school!

Please CONTRIBUTE to help us reach our fundraising goal of 100% participation from our families.

The Lab Middle School Direct Appeal is our singular, most important fundraiser. The Direct Appeal is the lifeline that allows Lab Middle to offer the extensive afterschool programs and fund the necessary expenses that make our school the vibrant community that it is. Without your continued support, these programs cannot not exist!

School Philosophy

The New York City Lab School for Collaborative Studies offers a unique learning environment with a distinct philosophy that is predicated on four defining principles:

Collaboration

Intrinsic to learning at Lab is the collaborative process, in which students and teachers share ideas and learn from each other through active classroom discussion, the use of group projects, and an interdisciplinary approach to subject matter.

Academic Rigor

High standards for curricular and extra-curricular goals that reach beyond those of the standardized New York City Regents curriculum are frequently reassessed to reflect the intellectual strengths of students and staff and to change along with the student body’s needs.

Diversity and Pluralism

To achieve the kind of learning environment that extends beyond the classroom, Lab seeks to create an atmosphere in which individual differences and perspectives are valued and activities are structured to encourage a multitude of approaches and responses.

Compassion

The spirit of compassion is fundamental to learning at Lab, enabling students to accept the risks and challenges inherent in developing as learners and as human beings, to explore, to argue, to excel and sometimes to fail within a supportive network of caring and careful administrators, teachers, and fellow students.
