One year in a startlingly upbeat public middle school in NYC — where 5th-8th graders are mixed in most classes and somehow it actually works.
A documentary filmmaker (and CS parent alum) spent a year embedded in the Center School and made a feature documentary
and 10min short film.
>> You can read about the project here
>> Current students, alum and families may watch the films from this private screener page through July 31, 2023.
A message from the filmmaker:
Thank you Ms. Schwartz for the delight, curiosity, optimism, flexibility and acceptance you engendered in every class of students, all your faculty, and the extended Center School family for all these years.
