NEST+m is a New York City Department of Education citywide school for Gifted & Talented students, grades K to 12. We offer an academically challenging curriculum designed to produce young scholars who are distinguished by their intellectual capabilities, communication skills, capacity for leadership, ethical values, and readiness to contribute to the betterment of the world at large.
We are the only public Gifted & Talented school in New York City in which students can move seamlessly from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Our three grade levels—Lower (grades K–5), Middle (6–8) and Upper (9–12)—occupy their own unique space within our large, sun-filled building, but they share a single educational philosophy and a unified school spirit.
Please see Summer Updates - 8.12.2020. This message includes details about our NEST+m Exception Model, and updates about the timeline of plans for school reopening.

The Department of Education's Learning Preference Survey is now OPEN.
Families have until August 7th to choose from two options:
Only families opting for 100% Remote Learning need to complete this survey.
Families who chose 100% Remote Learning and submit a form but change their preference prior to August 7th, can do so by resubmitting the survey.
After August 7th, any family who chooses 100% Remote Learning will have the option to change back to Blended Learning at a few specific times during the school year.
