School | Ella Baker School

Students read daily (sometimes with buddies of all ages), developing a habit for and love of reading.

Our school is located in the historic Julia Richman Education Complex, housing students from infancy through high school.

Students have dedicated art instruction and use the arts as a form of expression in their classrooms.
