Student Life
At The Geneva School of Manhattan, our students benefit from several factors that make our school unique and welcoming.
Small class sizes- Christian teaching and practices
- Socioeconomic and ethnic diversity
- Multi-class learning circles
- Access to teachers and faculty
- All-school weekly Friday Chapel
- School-wide field trips and events
Environment
Our Upper School students are encouraged and challenged to live and act as role models to younger students, a challenge to which they aspire and excel. Our teachers serve as examples of patience, forgiveness, and faithfulness. Moreover, our weekly Friday Chapel meetings acknowledge acts of kindness and service with “Fruit of the Spirit” awards.
Activities
In addition to setting example for young students, our Upper School students form our Student Council. Each fall new Student Council representatives are chosen from the entire student body. Meeting weekly, these Student Council representatives use Roberts Rules of Order to conduct their meetings and serve to coordinate several events throughout the year. Student-led activities include a neighborhood bake sale, Literature Week, yearbook committee, and service projects.
News
We welcome the opportunity to celebrate student work, class-led initiatives, teacher profiles, and other School news. As of February 2010, we have begun compiling notable work and School updates in a monthly newsletter. It is a joy to share the many accomplishments of our hard-working students in this way, and we hope you will enjoy this informal snapshot into our unique education environment.
