Discover the Gold Standard in Progressive Education at Bank Street
Explore our commitment to progressive education through a deep understanding of development and educational theory.
Our unique approach, known as the developmental-interaction model, acknowledges that learning is most effective when actively engaging with materials, ideas, and people. We believe growth is authentic when it occurs within diverse and nurturing environments that support social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.
Bank Street fosters this growth by acting as a facilitator of meaningful learning experiences tlored to each student's unique potential. Our educators combine their understanding of development with careful observation and reflection to create opportunities for students to develop self-awareness and meaning-making abilities.
Through thoughtful interactions with teachers, peers, and their surroundings, Bank Street students build the skills needed for life-long critical thinking and professional success. We cultivate curiosity, indepence in thinking, respect for diversity, and engagement with the world around them.
As progressive educators, we emphasize strengthening community learning by working together with schools, caregivers, families, and society as a whole to foster strengths-based, learner-centered, and equitable educational practices that impact positive outcomes for all students and educators alike.
At Bank Street College of Education, our mission is rooted in building a better society through education. Every day, we challenge ourselves and our students to grow from the opportunities and obstacles inherent in collaborative learning.
Embrace our progressive tradition based on democratic leadership structure and foundational principles set by Lucy Sprague Mitchell, who envisioned education as an opportunity for social justice, advocacy, and community building.
