I am delighted to share my experiences at The Greene School, where my children have been receiving their education for the past few years. The school has proven itself as an extraordinary place of learning, dedicated to fostering academic growth and personal development in its students.One of the most impressive aspects of the school is its exceptional teachers.

Our two oldest children joined the school this year, in sixth and first grades, respectively. I am absolutely confident they are receiving a first-class education -- no doubt -- but it goes beyond that. It's the incredible opportunities that they're being exposed to every day that truly make this school experience so unique. Our middle school daughter never would have considered playing on a sports team in a "traditional" middle school, nor would she have been likely to find the support to do so if she did, so we were shocked when she asked permission to join first the Volleyball Team, then the Basketball Team this year -- and eagerly agreed. The first time she served a ball over the net, the cheers echoed through the gymnasium; and when she scored the team's first basket -- by pure luck -- during an away game, those girls hugged and celebrated like they were world champions! This winter, she eagerly joined the school's Girls on the Run team, participating in a physical, social and emotional empowerment program for two months, coached by two of the school's superhero teachers. Last week, at the culminating 5k event, the girls not only celebrated their own individual accomplishments, but were also each other's biggest cheerleaders; my ears are still ringing from the squeals at the finish line!Years ago, when our now-first-grade son was a toddler, I tried to sign him up for a class at our daughter's dance school -- I figured if we were there anyways, he might have a little fun too. They wouldn't accept him, insisting that he wouldn't "feel comfortable" in a class full of girls. Last night, during The Greene School's annual Dance Concert, he absolutely lit up on the Kravis Center stage, performing a routine with his entire first grade class; the kid didn't miss a beat! All students at The Greene School participate in Dance, Yoga, Art, Music, PE, Tennis, FabLab (Engineering), and Computer Science from grades Pre-K through 5. This year, our son has also had the opportunity to meet several children's book authors, celebrate the Lunar New Year and Holi, learn to play chess, take Martial Arts, and more!I know just how much time, passion and energy goes into making these opportunities available for students, and we are grateful every day for The Greene School's commitment to providing such a JOYFUL and supportive environment in which our children can safely learn and grow.

I had the privilege of working at The Greene School as a teacher and it was one of the highlights of my career. TGS is full of the most supportive and passionate staff I have ever worked with. The head of school truly, from the bottom of her heart, cares about every single person in the Greene community. As a teacher, I felt supported and understood. I felt like my voice was heard and valued. Working at The Greene School feels like being part of a community rather than a hierarchy. Every member is valued and that really brings out the best in everyone working there. This atmosphere seeps into every aspect of The Greene School and all the students and family feel it as well. The parents are a huge part of the school and lend to the happy, optimistic and joyful environment and the students feel supported and loved by every single teacher and staff in the school. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a really community, “village” feel where they can feel support, valued, and part of a team. As they say at the school, “you’re always welcome at The Green School” and this motto could not be more true.
