Invest in East-West

At East-West, our goal is to prepare students with the habits and skills which will lead them to success in university. For a new public school, we have a high number of students going on to university. We want all our students to go on to university, and not just here in New York City. We want to send our graduates to the small liberal arts colleges like Colgate and Vassar, and to the large name schools like Duke, Oberlin, Boston University, and Columbia. To do this requires strategic planning. 

It is not possible to fund all the needs of our school with the budget that we receive from the Department of Education. Thus, we invite you to invest in East-West.
