The faculty and staff at EMHCS work diligently to achieve the school’s mission of preparing students to meet and/or exceed the New York State standards in core subject areas and becoming bi-literate in both English and Spanish. Our vision is if a child cannot learn the way we teach, then we will learn to teach the way the child can learn.

​

The instruction is delivered in a workshop model where teachers begin with a focused, standards-based, explicit mini-lesson, followed by a differentiated work period that enables students to practice their new learning. Students are then brought together for a closing debrief and an opportunity to reflect on their learning.

​

During centers, teachers and paraprofessionals lead rigorous instruction that supports the development of higher-order cognitive and critical thinking skills and challenges students to defend and elaborate on their answers
