Curriculum
DREAM’s curriculum ensures rigorous instruction that teaches children to think critically and imaginatively. For elementary school, this includes:
- Literacy
- Math
- Physical Education
- Social Emotional Learning
DREAM uses an inquiry-based approach to learning to put scholars in the front seat. Scholars find solutions to problems on their own and share their discoveries with the class. By problem solving first, they’re able to gain context on subjects and learn from their own thinking. In our classroom, we want scholars talking more than teachers.
Performance
DREAM scholars have outperformed the district, city and state in New York State tests for four years running.
Extracurricular activities
Scholars have access to DREAM’s award-winning REAL Kids after school program.
