THE SCHOOL
WHAT IS THE SCHOOL CALENDAR AND HOURS?
The 2021-2022 School Year runs from August 23 until June 10; both schools observe most regular school holidays and breaks along with a half-day twice a month on Wednesdays. Doors open at 7:45 am for breakfast and the typical school day runs from 8:15 am – 3:30 pm.
DOES THE SCHOOL PROVIDE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMMING?
Yes. Both sites offer on-site extended day programming until 5:45 pm during full school days and on half days starting at 12:00 pm for extended day participants.
DOES THE SCHOOL PROVIDE BUSING?
No. However the Office of Pupil Transportation provides MetroCards at low or no cost to many of our families. Eligibility for free or half-priced MetroCards is based on your distance from the school and is decided by the New York City Department of Education’s Office of Pupil Transportation.
DOES MANHATTAN CHARTER SCHOOL REQUIRE UNIFORMS?
Yes, all students must wear a uniform every day. Our uniform consists of a navy or white polo with one of our three logos on it and plain khaki bottoms, provided in partnership with Flynn O’Hara Uniforms. Uniforms can be purchased online at the Flynn O’Hara online store.
