Institute for Collaborative Education
Our mission is to open every door possible for our students. With a commitment to student-centered education, our vision is to provide a nurturing, creative, and challenging academic program that meets the unique needs of all students. Our dedication to maintaining small class sizes enables personal relationships and allows teachers and advisors to make meaningful connections with every student, fostering a culture of safety, support, and belonging.
At NY.ICE we develop independent thinkers through collaborative work, authentic problem-solving and inquiry-based projects. Students take risks, test theories, and learn from their hands-on experiences.
Upon graduation, we expect NY.ICE students to be a force in the world, ready to thrive in the academic, creative, social, and intellectual journeys that await them in college and beyond.

Wine Pull
/
The Spring Fling Wine Pull STILL needs more wine!
The more wine that is donated - the more money we make for the school.
So, look through your wine cellars! Or when you're at your local wine shop, ask the owner if they would be willing to donate a bottle (worth $20 or more) for our great school fundraiser!
Email Wine Pull Donations if you're interested in donating a bottle (or more), or can help get wine donations from local vendors.
SPRING FLING DONATIONS
/Museums, Music, Art, TV shows
Cultural activities, whether a private museum tour or a night at a jazz club raise lots of money for our school and your kids. Can you drum up a donation for:
* tickets to a musical event - any genre!
* a museum tour
* seats to a Broadway show
* tickets to a late-night show, a la Colbert Report
Please visit a theater, a club, a museum or gallery and ask for a donation today. NYC cultural institutions donating to a NYC public school, how could they say no?
Use the Online Donation Form or the Printable Donation Formwhen asking for donations. Be sure to give your donors the Merchant Letter which includes our tax id number for those who are donating.
