Families seeking a seat at The Anderson School for 7th grade, please contact the Morningside Family Welcome center at MorningsideFWC@schools.nyc.gov  by May 16, 2025.

If your child is new or returning to NYC and does not have a zoned school or needs a high school, scan or take a picture of the documents listed below and email them to this email address. A counselor will then get back to you. *
  1. A government-issued identification including a photo for the parent or guardian 
  2. Two (2) of the documents listed in this checklist verifying proof of address
  3. Proof of your child’s age (child’s birth certificate, passport, or record of baptism -(only needed if new to NYCPS)

  5. Your child’s latest report card / transcript (if available and if new or returning to the city),
  6. Completed Student-registration-form (for FWC only)

Placement is prioritized for students not currently in a NYC DOE school in 6th grade unless your child attends 6th grade in a borough other than Manhattan and will be moving to Manhattan for 7th grade to avoid a reverse commute.  Applicants will be reviewed in June 2025 (and in August 2025 if additional seats become vacant.)

If you have any questions about the instructional program or school facility, please contact The Anderson School's Community Coordinator, Donna Smiley, at dsmiley@schools.nyc.gov or Parent Coordinator, Ana Crenovich, at acrenovich@schools.nyc.gov.
