The New Interdisciplinary School

NIS a not-for profit 4410 school approved by the state of New York began with a coalition of parents community people and staff in 1976. The school has been granted an absolute charter by the New York State Regents to provide education and therapeutic services to all children from birth to five years of age.
At NIS we believe in the rights of all children to grow and learn in a supportive environment and the rights of parents to have a real voice in their childrens education. We are always willing to try new approaches that are compatible with our child-centered philosophy. We strongly believe each child regardless of disability ethnic background or socioeconomic status has the right to develop to his/ her fullest potential.
In October 1995 NIS moved into a beautiful 35000 square feet child-centered building allowing us to expand services beyond preschoolers with a disability to include: nursery school pre-kindergarten Universal Pre-Kindergarten and a licensed child care program. NIS remains a circle of people who envelop those we serve with warmth enlightenment and security. This facility is authorized to administer medications
