The EARLY STEPS mission is to promote racial diversity within New York City independent schools. We accomplish this by increasing the enrollment of children of color beginning at the kindergarten and first grade levels.
The EARLY STEPS program was created by the Independent School Admission Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY) in response to the needs of schools and families. Independent schools want to increase their racial diversity. Parents of children of color seeking quality education for their children want guidance and support through the process. EARLY STEPS is a resource for both.
In our first year, 1986, EARLY STEPS assisted 35 families and enrolled 18 children of color in independent schools. Since then, our growth and impact on New York City independent schools has been dramatic. In September 2014, 52 member schools enrolled 140 children of color at the kindergarten and first grade levels. Over the past twenty-eight years, 3,110 children of color have attended independent schools because EARLY STEPS was there to guide their parents through the challenging independent school admissions process.
The true impact of the EARLY STEPS program in New York City independent schools is immeasurable. The entire community benefits from the richness of the shared experiences gained when many cultures live and learn together.
