Time flies with a speed of light and soon New York City Pre-K graduates will open the doors of their new kindergarten classrooms.  Some of them will proudly open the legendary doors of the Big Apple Academy, a national Blue Ribbon School. What awaits our curious youngsters in this amazing world of knowledge? What will be their usual daily routine? Will the kindergarteners have time to relax and have fun?

This chapter of the Big Apple Academy Highlights is dedicated to the exciting world of Kindergarten. We hope that many parents of our prospective students will be able to find these highlights useful. So, this is it– your child's school day begins!
 

Your Child’s Day Begins!!!

Your child’s day begins with a pleasant ride to school in one of our comfortable school buses. The Big Apple Academy families enjoy the convenient transportation provided for the residents of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island free of charge. Our bus chaperones work closely with families and make sure that each child gets to school and home safely . Just tell us your address and the transportation department will adjust the bus itinerary to meet your child's needs!
 

Lunchroom is everyone's favorite place! You can chat with your friends, eat tasty dishes and always ask for more! Every day our students enjoy the three fresh hot meals cooked on the school premises. Well balanced breakfasts, nutrition rich lunches, and diverse dinners are served in the school cafeteria free of charge. The hot soup of the day is the king of our school menu!
 

Our kindergarten students have 5 instructional periods per day.  Each subject is taught by a teacher who specializes in the particular academic area.  Your child will receive instructions from nine different teachers, each one being a professional in a particular academic subject: Math, English, Science, Social Studies, RLD, Computer Technology , ART, Music, and Sport. Moreover, your child will be able to complete his/ her homework in school under the supervision and guidance of the classroom teacher.
 

Our academic programs in mathematics and ELA are accelerated by nature. At the end of the first academic quarter, our Kindergarten students proudly read their first books. Mathematics instruction is dedicated to a systematic development of critical reasoning, logical thinking, and sequencing. Early logic expansion across primary grades allows our teachers to model formal and informal mathematical reasoning which leads to an understanding of crucial scientific concepts.
 

A great school is more than merely advanced academic environment. It is a place where every child has room for personal growth and development of one's talents.  Twice a year we invite all parents to watch our signature New Year and Mother's Day shows and enjoy their youngsters perform on stage!
