From The Nightingale-Bamford School
Nightingale inspires girls to go beyond barriers.
At Nightingale, students become joyful learners who have the intellectual depth and the courage to be critical thinkers, compassionate citizens, and agents of their own lives; advancing equity for the betterment of all.
To achieve this mission and vision, we will educate girls’ minds and hearts by infusing their lives with meaningful relationships; teaching them to value difference as a source of strength and means of growth; and empowering them to question the status quo with confidence, empathy, resilience, and reason.
From Lower School, where students learn to think independently, to the self-discovery of Middle School, to the in-depth liberal arts curriculum with an emphasis on global citizenship in the Upper School, we seek to educate both mind and heart.

Rating 4.46 out of 5 68 reviews
We have two daughters in Nightingale. Both started at class K and this is our sixth year in the school. Our decision to attend Nightingale is proven to be the right one year after year. Nightingale has a perfect balance between strong academics and developing the personal side of the girls. Our daughters love going to school, have developed a passion for learning, and are delighted with their teachers and friends. We are very happy to see our daughters becoming, through our partnership with the school, well-rounded and confident girls who while learning new things every day, also care about their fellow human beings. Everything the school does is backed by common sense, respect, sense of humor, and humility. We are an immigrant family with no relatives in NY, and simply put the school staff and parent group have become our second family in NY. We cannot be happier about being part of this wonderful community!
Having two very different daughters at the school, I continue to be so impressed *(and quite frankly amazed) by how well the teachers and administrators really know my daughters. I love how well they are both cared for, challenged, and celebrated. The school is a remarkably warm and caring community and yet my kids are still held to high standards and accountable. Nightingale gets better with each year!
We are delighted with our experience at the Nightingale-Bamford lower school so far. Some highlights are the excellent communication (a consolidated email with all of the weekly events/updates, class blogs), warm and supportive teachers who check in regularly (the P/T conferences are well-prepared and informative, among the best we've experienced), intentional efforts to prevent cliques (class/lunch room seat switching, small groupings for different specials), an engaged and participative school community (the many school events are very well attended), great school trips, and healthy lunch options. They are focused on building the girl, particularly in self advocacy and public speaking. My daughter is younger so it's hard to speak to the rigor/intensity of the academics quite yet, but they differentiate the curriculum and make the work of learning fun. Our daughter comes home energized, eager to share stories about her day. She is happy, well-adjusted, & inspired - so far, so good!
