Our Story.
School in the Square was founded in 2016 by Evan Meyers, who was assigned a principal apprenticeship at one of the lowest-performing schools in NYC with a 25% graduation rate. He became aware of the dismaying statistics of NYC public schools, specifically at his then-current district, where 73% of students could not read at grade level, and 50% of teachers gave up teaching within only a few years. “I was determined to build a school community that was going to work, and work for teachers,” Meyers said. “This was going to be a place that thinks about everybody.”
