This briefing will focus on unique high-quality after-school and summer learning partnerships between private schools in NYC and youth-serving organizations that leverage the resources of private schools to expand learning time for low-income public school students.
The panel will feature representatives from three organizations that collectively serve approximately 800 public school students annually in partnership with eight private schools in the City. With approximately 100 private schools in NYC, these program models can be instructive as we consider the scale potential of this type of public/private partnership. The organizations to be profiled work effectively with their public and private school partners to advance student achievement, and speakers will explore the opportunities and challenges they face. In addition to the panelists, invited guests, including board members and principals involved in these efforts, will offer diverse perspectives.
