Head of School's Welcome

When you visit Trevor Day School, you’ll find that there is no back of the classroom here. Everyone is seen and heard. Trevor is a community that is deliberately designed to promote students’ engagement in their studies, their community, and their world. It is an environment that gives students the tools to balance a challenging college-prep academic program with dynamic and healthy lives outside of school. Intellectual endeavor, engagement, and balance are cited over and over again by alumni, parents, faculty, and students as the school’s defining characteristics.

Students are at the center of all that we do, and we  value and respect the diverse voices of our student body. High achievement and happiness are at the core of our students’ experiences. One is not at the expense of the other.

The architecture of our school’s two campuses tangibly supports student learning. Within student-centered common spaces, teachers and students collaborate dynamically; together, they navigate a college-prep curriculum that leads to academic mastery, innovative thinking, and a global perspective. Both the LEED-Gold Middle and Upper School on East 95th Street, and our Lower School on West 88th Street and Central Park West, provide optimal educational environments that support Trevor’s mission to place students at the center of their learning. Signature programming in environmental studies, global education, and health & wellness further enhance the student experience.
