Corlears School is a nonprofit, independent, progressive elementary school located in Chelsea, New York. We provide children from toddlers through fifth grade with the foundation they need to gain confidence and fall in love with learning. In our five decades of experience, we’ve come to understand that these early years are the most crucial formative years for every child. We specialize in guiding this age group because we believe the start of your child’s academic life should be nothing short of exceptional. https://www.corlearsschool.org
