Bank Street College of Education / Graduate School of Education

Campus Description:
For nearly a century, Bank Street College of Education has been a powerful force for innovation and best practices in teaching and learning for children. The Graduate School prepares individuals to be teachers, educational leaders, museum educators, literacy specialists, and child life specialists. Bank Street's creative approach to teaching and learning, The Bank Street Approach, recognizes that children learn best when they are actively engaged with materials, ideas and people. Using this approach, Bank Street graduate students learn to encourage children to be curious, love learning, be respectful and tolerant of human differences, engage with the world around them, and prepare to lead lives of consequence.

Integrating a demonstration school for children, a graduate school for preparing teachers and educational leaders, community-based school initiatives, professional development for those who work with children, Bank Street is a leading source of expertise and innovation in children's education. Bank Street's location on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City provides an ideal setting for dynamic learning for educators, graduate students, and children.
