Mission and Practice

Calhoun inspires a passion for learning through a progressive approach to education that
values intellectual pursuit, creativity, diversity and community involvement.
Calhoun Values...
Teaching and learning begin with the
needs, interests, questions and diverse
life experiences of the individual.
Students construct an understanding of themselves and the world by engaging
in purposeful and meaningful work
in each of their classes.
Our teachers and students reflect the rich diversity of New York City. They collaborate
as thoughtful citizens and engage in the real work of the school and the world beyond it.
Students develop a sense of empathy, equity, and justice and embrace their accountability to their community and the rest of the world.
