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!

Academics

General Info

The Lab School for Collaborative Studies provides challenging course offerings for a highly academic population and provides a successful inclusion program. Traditionally, special progress (SP) or gifted classes exist at the opposite end of the academic spectrum from Collaborative Team Teaching (CTT) inclusion classes. Not so at Lab. Very few of the school’s classes are homogeneously grouped. All are highly rigorous. To support our inclusion students, each CTT student works with two inclusion teachers: one for humanities and one for math/science in addition to their other general education teachers, in order to fully support the individual’s learning style/needs.

Lab School is a screened school with an enrollment of just under 600 children. There are approximately 30 children per class. Lab Middle School shares its building with two other schools: Lab High School and The Museum School.

Lab is an Empowerment school. Empowerment schools are schools in which the principal has greater autonomy in exchange for agreeing to take on greater responsibility for producing results in terms of student academic achievement. These schools share the fundamental belief that decisions about how to educate students should be made as close as possible to those who work with them – principals in collaboration with their school communities.

As required by the New York City Department of Education, Lab has selected a School Support Organization, the Hurwitz Children First Network as the advisory support provider for the execution of its Empowerment Policies. There are about 500 Empowerment schools citywide.
