They gladly shell out 50k+ per offspring to attend this school yet refuse to donate a measly 50, 500, 5000 etc bucks to the park - a mere drop in the bucket for these multi-millionaires and billionaires. Meanwhile their obnoxious, unruly screaming poop machines use the park as their perpetual playground. Um..it doesn't belong to the school, it belongs to NYC and the people.. not your snot nose kiddos! Ok? You have donated NOTHING..not a dime of your precious pumpkins' tuition goes towards the park ..but keep on playing dumb, so cheap you wouldn't give a squirrel a crumb. Very true what's said about rich folk: like trying get blood out of a stone! Don't be surprised when they pull a Lori Laughlin and Felicity Hoffman to set up their perfect little crotchberries for success. Prison is too good for these soulless tightwads who hath no shame. Disgrace to humanity!

Precious Gems Montessori is really nurtured their curiosity and gave them structure and freedom of expression. Most importantly, the teachers at PGM are incredible--some of the most gentle, loving, and intelligent people around. I think Precious Gems Montessori gave our boys great social skills, a love of learning, and a lot of self-confidence! We are very happy with it and would recommend it to others.

We want our children to be bilingual and we're thrilled that both have entered a dual language english/Spanish program. We also love that fact that this is an IB school that focuses on 21st century skills. Last but not least, the school hired a COVID consultant and reorganized the entire school in order to be able to have children on premises and meet social distancing standards. Although they do have a remote option, this thankful parent is thrilled to drop the kids off at real school every morning.

We visited a number of schools and sought the the advice of countless friends and family before finally being introduced to Pine Street school. We attended an informational social which gave us the opportunity to meet faculty, parents, students, and learn more about the IB program and curriculum - we were blown away by the enthusiasm of the teachers, the global exposure the students had, and the close knit community we encountered there. But it was our children's response that really informed our decision to apply as they were eager to spend more time with everyone they met that evening and excited to learn more about the school. Fast forward to today and we couldn't be happier with the decision that we made. Pine Street School truly supports the whole child: the curriculum is rigorous and engaging, and we visibly see how they are preparing our children to go out and make a difference in the world. Students go on more field trips than any other school I've encountered - they really make sure that they have an opportunity to go out and experience the world. It is apparent that the thoughtful approach to learning supports the development of our children intellectually, emotionally, and socially and we couldn't be more pleased. And they continue to impress us and exceed our expectations, especially during this unprecedented time where our children need more love, support and consistency than ever; they are the only school that I know of that offers 4.5 hours of synchronous learning each day while school is physically closed due to social distancing! Incredible! They have managed to maintain the academic standards and preparation that we've become accustomed to during this challenging time: it doesn't get more committed than that. I could go on forever but will stop by thanking Pine for continuing to reaffirm why we made the best decision possible by enrolling both of our children. Thank you!
