EUREKA MATH/ENGAGE NY

Our math curriculum is all about building knowledge - not just skills. Building deep, lasting understanding rather than just memorizing. Knowledge about the real world, rather than hypothetical scenarios. Knowledge through consistent core skill development, rather than reinventing the wheel with each lesson. And the knowledge that builds upon itself for richer connections throughout the learning process. Every child has unlimited potential and is capable of greatness.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS

The Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP) is an approach to literacy instruction for students in elementary and middle schools with two primary goals: to improve students’ reading and writing, and to help children become lifelong, confident readers and writers who display agency and independence through work with teachers, collaboration with peers, and independent work.

SOCIAL STUDIES

The New York City K-8 Scope and Sequence is a comprehensive resource that integrates national standards, the New York State Social Studies Core Curriculum (content, concepts, key ideas, understandings and performance indicators) and the NYS K-8 Social Studies Framework. Each yearly course of study is organized around a suggested time frame for core content guided by essential questions.

SCIENCE

Amplify Science is a science curriculum that blends hands-on investigations, literacy-rich activities, and interactive digital tools to empower students to think, read, write, and argue like real scientists and engineers. It is designed to spark our elementary students’ interest and empower them to ask more questions, think more critically, and generate innovative ideas.

TECHNOLOGY

The technology club helps with technology repairs around the school and acts as a place for students to practice and perfect their technology skills. In class students use Minecraft for education and Scratch which allows for block coding.

#SISTERHOOD

"My Experience was wonderful what I liked most about my high school was the sisterhood and being able to count on your sister."

GIANT WAE FAMILY

"When I transferred to that school in my freshmen year, I thought that it was going to be a difficult year. I love my school. They have unique activities that I've never done in other schools. The teachers teach really well and they treat us really good. The students love to work together. If it wasn't for one of my teachers, I wouldn't have made it to where I am right now. We all work together as a giant family."

BUILDING YOUNG LEADERS

"It was one of the best decisions sending my daughter in this school... this school developed not only the academic skills of my daughter but also improved her non academic aspects.If you want to have a more personalized attention to your daughter in a public school but with private school service, I encourage you to send your daughter to WAE."

WAE IS LIFE CHANGING

"WAE has completely changed my life. For the mere fact that I was challenged to push myself constantly... I left WAE and went on to attend the prestigious Howard University in which I will be graduating with a B.S. in Political Science this upcoming May. WAE was the catalyst for me. They promote such love and care between the girls and just within ourselves. They always support you, in whatever you do. All while guiding you to the top.
