The Reece School is one of the oldest non-profit special education elementary schools in New York City. It was founded in 1948 by Ellen S. Reece and was originally housed in the home she once owned on East 93rd Street. Today the Reece School is in a modern high-tech new building located at 25 east 104th street, next to the famous Museum Mile and Central Park. Our new location affords us multiple opportunities for outside educational and activities in a natural setting.

The Reece School presents a highly academic elementary special education for nearly 75 students, ages 5 to 13, who present with learning disabilities, speech and language impairments, and emotional disabilities. The school’s program is full day and is offered within a nurturing environment that is designed to provide high levels of academic and emotional support. Children study a modified, sequential, elementary curriculum for grades K-6 and learn various strategies for overcoming their individual academic difficulties. They develop the social skills to function successfully in the classroom, the school, and the larger community.

The Reece School offers a supportive work environment and creates an atmosphere where all students can and do feel successful. The staff continuously strives to provide methods to meet and raise student outcomes. It is our goal to successfully prepare the children to return to a less restrictive educational setting.
