Beyond Basic Learning strives to nurture a child's natural tendency to learn.  Both of our locations overlook the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline.

This provides our children with wonderful opportunities to immerse themselves, not only in the local community around them, but around the world, in that Beyond Basic Learning is home to families from more than fifteen countries.

We love learning from one another and we embrace the involvement of our parents and grandparents.

“Looking outward from their classroom window, our children see helicopters take off and land, see ships of various shapes and sizes, see buildings appear as a combination of squares and rectangles.  Their natural curiosity coupled with classroom inquiry as to why things fly in the air or float in the water starts to transform these children into budding explorers, scientists, inventors and artists.  For what is true learning if not founded on inquiry?”
----Zuleika J. Fertullien— Executive Director & Founder
