New Visions Schools and Teachers

The New Visions Network of Schools

New Visions, as a Partnership Support Organization (PSO), serves a wide range of schools in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. In small schools and large, in schools newly created and those long established, New Visions supports student achievement at all grade levels.

The New Visions network contains schools that serve students in grade ranges K–12, K–6, K–8, 6–12 and 9–12. New Visions supports four prekindergarten programs and 12 transfer schools designed to help older students who have fallen behind in credits to graduate. Ninety percent of New Visions schools are either new or small schools.
