Our Story

Why we built NYC School Finder

A free, useful resource for families exploring schools in New York City.

The purpose of this project is simple: to help families understand their school options and make informed choices. We want the information to be useful, understandable and available to everyone, for free.

That means being clear about where information comes from, what is known and what still needs checking. NYC School Finder is an independent project, not an official admissions service.
