Community Schools

Abbott House recognizes that the needs of the whole child must be met in order for students to succeed.  We partner with the New York City Department of Education to provide services to elementary schools in the Mount Eden community of the Bronx. 

Our goal is to develop school communities in which students and families evolve into productive adults who will continue to grow economically and academically.  We take a holistic approach to supporting student success that includes after school and summer programming, family engagement, social services, and physical and mental health services. We engage parents, families, and other members of the community as part of a process to transform each school.
