Life at school

Changing the Face of Men's Health-Support Movember Month A message from our illustrious social studies teacher, Mr. Oppenheim,

Join our Student Government in displaying the spirit of East-West. Dress up for Wacky Tacky Monday, Character Day on Tuesday, Culture Wednesday, Sports Thursday, and in celebration of Halloween, Fright Friday.

East-West's Korean Startalk program was a 5 week language enrichment program in the summer. Students were set in an immersion language classroom in which Korean was the primary language. Throughout the summer Korean language and culture was explored through Korean food, music, dance, art, and martial arts. Students took weekly trips to explore the NYC Korean community in Manhattan and Queens and to practice language skills in real life situations. The summer culminated in a giant celebration in which students' accomplishments were celebrated.

In celebration of East-West's tenth anniversary and appreciation of our teachers and staff for their hard work and academic excellence, the Van Leeuwen Ice-Cream Truck made a surprise visit to the school. Click here to view more photos from this album.  

With much support from NYC DOT's Bike To School Program, Recycle-A-Bicycle, Bike New York, NYC Parks Department, Youth Bike Summit, Vision Zero, and Hunter Ambulance, our 1st Annual Bike-a-Thon at Flushing Meadows Corona Park was a huge success!

East-West is excited to announce the beginning of our STARTALK program, a wonderful opportunity for students to immerse themselves in Korean Language and Culture. STARTALK is a FREE 5 week summer enrichment program for High School and Middle School students designed to give them a chance to learn about Korea through cooking classes, formal language instruction, Taekwondo classes and much more.
