Manhattan Star Academy

Outstanding Staff and Curriculum

My son is on the spectrum and is highly intelligent but deals with some social emotional outbursts. While the behavioral issues are infrequent, they can be intense and no other school that I know of can deal on a clinical and emotionally sensitive way better than MSA. They take the time to collect data on behaviors and thoughtfully come up with a plan to address the issue effectively. The small classes and highly trained teachers are adept at finding solutions to everyday challenges these children face. My son loves this school and rushes me every morning to go early because he doesn't want to miss anything. I can't thank the school enough for creating such a wonderful and supporting environment where my son is allowed to be himself and to love learning. Thank you MSA!
