About the school
Lower Manhattan Community (LMC) is a small, rigorous middle school with a strong arts program that serves a diverse community. Over the three years of middle school, we aim to challenge students to think creatively, solve problems, and, most importantly, engage with their peers to build connections and share ideas and experiences. At LMC, students take four arts courses: Digital Arts, Dance, Music, and Visual Arts. They have the opportunity to engage with the art course that resonates with them the most. Every Wednesday after lunch, our students participate in a small advisory group of 10-12 of their peers. Led by one of their teachers, our advisory curriculum explores topics such as goal-setting, identity, values, service, and human rights. These advisories provide a framework for the numerous field trips, including overnight trips, that our students participate in throughout the year. In advisory, we also prepare students for the opportunity of 'out lunch', which students in good academic standing are eligible for after the first trimester of 6th grade. At LMC, our robust after-school program, developed in partnership with Manhattan Youth, builds on our arts, academic, and advisory programs through daily programming that is free of charge.
