OUR STORY

NYC Autism Charter Schools began as a project under the umbrella of the former New York Center for Autism, now Next for Autism, a non-profit organization based in New York City. Two mothers who themselves understood the challenges of finding appropriate educational options for their sons, committed themselves to creating a new kind of school – one that would offer a high quality education to all of it’s students at no cost to their families. 

That vision became a reality in 2005, growing from just a handful of students to now two schools serving children and families in both the East Harlem and South Bronx communities. Our educational program offers individualized and evidence based instruction rooted in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and a 1:1 teacher/student ratio in almost all classrooms. 

NYC Autism Charter Schools are fortunate to be co-located with other district and charter schools at both sites, providing our students with ample opportunities to interact with peers who are part of the larger school community. NYC Autism Charter School continues to grow and expand our reach through professional development and conference presentations, community partnerships, our Peer Mentoring Program, and other dissemination efforts, spreading effective practices beyond our school’s walls.
