Partnership with Children provides critical mental health services for students and engages families in the school community. We support schools in low-income communities across all five boroughs of New York City


    Founded in 1908, Partnership with Children works to help children overcome the chronic stress of growing up in poverty so they are positioned to succeed. Originally called Big Sisters, our organization was established to provide support and mentoring for girls referred by the family court system. In the early 1990s, we made the strategic decision to place full-time social workers into schools in the city’s most under-served communities. Over the past twenty-five years, we have refined our model of expanded mental health services and systems-building for schools to address the unique set of mental and behavioral health challenges faced by children growing up in poverty.



    HIGH EXPECTATIONS.



    As we strive for excellence, our highly trained staff, in collaboration with the parental community, provides challenging experiences to meet the high performance standards that our school fosters. We actively seek to broaden our perceptions and understanding of a changing world in an effort to interact with and become active members in a diverse society.​




    COMMUNITY.

    PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.



    Our school recognizes that teaching and learning must serve as a springboard to improve student performance. With this in mind we have a developed a professional development process which helps our teaching body enhance their teaching practices through inter-visitations, instructional conversations, and modeling activities that promotes self-directed learning for students.
