Manhattan Star Academy is designed to support and empower children age 3-21 with global developmental delays, autism spectrum disorders, speech and language delays, and neuro-developmental disabilities.
The school was created in response to the requests of parents whose children had graduated from New York League for Early Learning preschools and had difficulty finding the same quality, personalized educational experience and nuturing environment. MSA is member of the YAI Network.
Manhattan Star Academy's curriculum that addresses all
cognitive, intellectual and social development as well as physical,
mental health and nutritional needs.Our nurturing learning
environment provides a safe place for students to interact with
peers, problem solve and make connections between the
developmentally appropriate curriculum and their world.
Multi-dimensional project work and enrichment activities build on
the student's prior learning experiences and thereby facilitate the
acquisition of higher level skills.
My son is on the spectrum and transferred to MSA from another special needs school in the city. The school has full-time BCBA, RN, and highly trained teachers and staff in special education. Nowhere in NYC can you find a school so capable of dealing with children with varied and different needs than MSA. The school can handle them all because they are good at what they do! There is a data-driven approach to dealing with behaviors that is more effective than other schools because they take the time to understand what the core behavioral and other issues are. They have teachers who tailor their teaching to the emotional, social and academic needs of every child and the small class sizes (<10/class) helps in this regard. I now have a child who loves to learn and be in school. I am nothing but grateful for the support and love this school has given my son. They are extraordinary and a gift to parents like me. Thank you, MSA.
