Speyer School is an independent school in New York City that caters to gifted learners from Kindergarten to eighth grade. Founded in 2009, it has rapidly grown from 26 students in a small space to over 320 students in a modern, spacious campus in Midtown Manhattan. With a rich history dating back to the 1930s, Speyer carries on the legacy of The Speyer School, an experimental public school that focused on the educational and social-emotional needs of gifted children.

At Speyer, the central principle is that gifted learners thrive when they have a curriculum tailored to their abilities and are surrounded by high-achieving peers. Inspired by the pioneering research of Dr. Leta Hollingworth, Speyer provides an interdisciplinary curriculum and fosters a passion for learning and questioning in its students.

The mission of Speyer is to create a collaborative community where students are intellectually curious, passionate learners. Guided by academically fearless teachers, students engage in an enriched curriculum that addresses their unique needs and nurtures their academic, social, and emotional development. Speyer values innovation, differentiation, and an inclusive learning environment, preparing students to tackle complex challenges in an increasingly diverse world
