About the Graduate School of Education
The challenges of the 21st century require innovative, knowledgeable leaders capable of crafting creative, collaborative solutions.
Since 1916, the Graduate School of Education has been at the forefront of educational research and discourse, both globally and in shaping New York City's education system. We proactively address the evolving demands of our time by:
- Identifying emerging issues that shape the future of education,
- Offering cutting-edge professional preparation and development programs,
- Equipping practitioners with the tools to apply the most promising theoretical concepts.
Located in the heart of New York City, our strong partnerships with public and private schools, universities, businesses, government agencies, and human service organizations enrich our community and extend our impact.
Rooted in the Jesuit tradition of academic excellence and cura personalis—the care for the whole person—we uphold the highest standards of scholarship while fostering an inclusive environment that champions equity and social justice. We believe that leading the next generation requires a commitment to nurturing both intellect and character, preparing our students to create a more equitable and just society.
Our approach strikes a dynamic balance between theory and practice, integrating research, teaching, and community service. Faculty and students engage in mutually supportive relationships, working together to shape a better world for all.
