School of The Blessed Sacrament

In this NYC world of high priced private schools, aggressive charter schools, overcrowded public schools, the School of the Blessed Sacrament is a hidden gem on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It is It is a Pre-​K3 through 8^th Grade Catholic elementary school. This school truly celebrates diversity and strong ethical values. We have students from all over Manhattan and the outer boroughs. The faculty teach with kindness and care, aiming to foster Christian leadership, individual responsibility and service to those in our community and beyond.
I personally feel that it is important to not just raise children to achieve great test scores and high grades but to help them become complete human beings. Blessed Sacrament has a rigorous curriculum and has achieved test scores competitive with other top Manhattan schools. However, SBS distinguishes itself from other schools as the students are all raised to become responsible members of the community. They are taught to embrace responsibility, how to respect and care for others and how to respect and care for themselves.
In this crazy world where all of life is getting played out on social media and other technology outlets, it is a welcome change to take my children to a school that in nurturing them as a person. They are taught values that mirror what I teach in the home. The parent population is strong as a community, along with the high-​quality teaching staff.
I am proud to call Blessed Sacrament home for my two children for the last 3 years (starting PK4 through now 4^th grade).

This is our 2^nd year at Blessed Sacrament. We found this gem of a school two years ago when we decided to stay in the city past the preschool years (as our oldest was about to enter Kindergarten.). While we are zoned for a decent public school on the UWS, we had concerns about the large® class sizes and the individual attention our child would receive.
Blessed Sacrament has met and far exceeded our expectations. As a mixed race and faith family, we were looking for a school that had both a solid early elementary education and a strong value system. The administration has been welcoming and responsive. The former vice principal, who is now the current principal, knew my child and our family within the first months of school. We had an amazing Kindergarten teacher last year and an equally caring one this year. As a new parent to the school, the families have been warm and inclusive. The student body is diverse which was important to our city-​based family.
We are so pleased with the school that we are moving our younger one from a private preschool next year. We looked at several schools that wouldn’t break the bank for two children and would give us what we wanted/​needed. We encourage you to do the same with Blessed Sacrament.

I have been at the school since my son was in Prek3. He’s in 2^nd grade. I love this school so much. My son loves this school. It’s a small oasis in this big city. The teachers are so wonderful and push each child to keep them progressing past their potential. The new administration is absolutely amazing. They have really raised the bar for our kids. Knowing that I won’t have to worry about a school until high school is a relief. This school is a Prek-​8 grade. Our community is small and very special. I would seriously look at this school for your child/​children!

We have two children at Blessed Sacrament School in PK3 and PK 4 grades. The kids have bloomed during their school year at Blessed Sacrament! There are excellent, loving & professional teachers, the classrooms are bright and sunny. The library and wonderful librarian entice the kids to read, and really developed their love for books. The music teacher is excellent as well. The principal Ms. Engel hires well, keep the school clean and in order. We are truly grateful for the experience, we know there are a myriads of school options in the city for toddlers, but were delighted with our choice and outcome.

We have been at Blessed Sacrament for 3 years and are very happy with the school. We have a child in 2^nd grade and one in Kindergarden. The teachers are so engaged with each child and continue to challenge them. We are lucky to have found such a wonderful school in such a big city.
