Who We Are
MS177 Yorkville East Middle School is a new middle school located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. We pride ourselves on our small, tight-knit community in which every adult knows every child and helps support their growth throughout their three years of middle school. To do this, we utilize our small class size to provide students with individualized and small group instruction. Our advisory periods allow us for daily check-ins, and the reinforcement of your core values to help our students built strong bonds and respectful relationships with their peers. To enhance students’ love for learning, we offer enrichment classes in math, art, newspaper, science, debate, and team sports in addition ot our fusion classes in STEM and Humanities. This approach allows for students to continue exploring the different topics that might interest them while providing the solid foundation necessary for success in high school and beyond.
