About 691 St. Nicholas
POSTED ON APRIL 30TH, 2018
Construction is well underway. The Network toured the building last week. The Harlem campus will open in August 2019 with four sections of kindergarten. Aside from construction, the network is working with an environmental graphics designer to make sure that both NCSH and NCSB have a similar feel and are identically branded. The Harlem campus will be six stories high with climate-controlled classrooms, windows, rubber flooring, acoustic tiles to muffle sound, bright lights, and dedicated rooms for specials. We’ve just put the finishing touches on our outdoor playground, which will have green turf, park benches, and three play apparatuses.

About NCS:Bronx
POSTED ON APRIL 30TH, 2018
The NYC Buildings Department has approved our application to change the zoning of our NCSB site from commercial use to school use. As a reminder, our Bronx campus, located at 411 Wales Avenue. is a half a block off of the 143rd Street stop on the 6 train.
Demolition of the existing building begins this month. The two-story structure, when complete, will be 58,000 sq. ft. and open with four sections of kindergarten and three sections of first grade. NCSB will open with approximately 150 students in August 2019, the same day we open NCSH!

Krystal Mircovich
[/av_textblock]
[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]
Krystal Mircovich, Kindergarten grade team lead, began her career at NCSH in 2014 teaching Kindergarten with Mrs. Caiazzo. NCSH was Krystal’s first job out of college, and she was placed here through Teach For America. Krystal has her master’s degree of teaching from the Relay Graduate School of Education and had a very positive experience with the program.
Krystal’s favorite part of teaching kindergarten is seeing the growth her scholars make over the course of the year. Kindergarteners often enter NCSH not knowing how to read or to recognize sounds and with limited math skills. By the time the school year ends, most are proficient E readers and are able to do first-grade level math problems.
Krystal points out that one common misconception that others have of kindergarten is that they might assume kindergarteners are too young to be independent and to handle their own problems. In Krystal’s classroom, scholars are expected to find solutions to their old problems first before Krystal intervenes. This reflects a central tenet of Krystal’s teaching philosophy: it is critical to build independence and resilience in young scholars. Another tenet is the importance of building social values in kindergarten scholars so that they are kind and virtuous citizens of our society. One of the best things about working with kindergarteners, Krystal says, is having more of an influence on the character of her young students.
Krystal will again serve as grade team lead for the kindergarten team next year.
