Over 500 students have graduated from the program and enrolled in college." We are happy to offer our own collaborative partnership with the Y-Scholars program to ensure our students can succeed.
Learning Partners Program
The Learning Partners Program is designed to promote collaborative learning by matching a school that has demonstrated strength in a specific area of practice, known as a host school, with schools interested in strengthening practices in that area, or partner schools. These specific areas of practice were identified by school leaders, teachers, and support staff as key characteristics needed for schools to promote college and career readiness for its students.

The Middle School Quality Initiative (MSQI) is the New York City Department of Education's focused effort to expand the number of middle schools that prepare students for college and career success. MSQI serves as the city's implementation plan for putting the Carnegie Reading Next report recommendations into action.

Special Education
Our goal is to offer all of our scholars a great education. For students will special needs, we offer specialized services to ensure they are given the same opportunities as all of our students. Therefore, the IEP team must first consider whether the student’s academic need can be serviced in a general education class. At M.S 267, we have instituted Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) in every classroom for grades 6-8, in our efforts to ensure every child receives equal access to a quality education.
