School Overview

Great Oaks Charter School, located on Delancey Street in New York City’s Lower East Side, is a tuition-free public charter school serving students in grades 6 through 12. The school is part of the broader Great Oaks network, which is distinguished by its unique "tutor-corps" model. Under this framework, students receive intensive, daily small-group instruction from professional tutors who often live in the community and are embedded within the school day, ensuring that academic support is integrated directly into the core curriculum.

The school’s mission emphasizes both rigorous academic preparation for college and the cultivation of strong character development. By maintaining a high-dosage tutoring environment, Great Oaks aims to close the opportunity gap for its students, providing personalized attention that traditional classrooms often cannot accommodate. The school fosters a college-going culture, focusing on equipping students with the critical thinking skills and academic foundation necessary to succeed in higher education and beyond.
