Our Purpose: To transform lives through education
Equalityβs purpose is to affect transformative change in the lives of all the people in our community β the parents, the political leadership, the alumni and scholars, and our future children.
All in the Numbers
We are #1 in our district at preparing Middle School students for High School.
Scholars from ECMS who also attended ECHS graduated at a higher rate than their City and District counterparts.
We provide equal opportunities in education to economically disadvantaged communities.
Enroll With Us
We focus on systemic growth, instead of just test scores.
Equalityβs curriculum systematically reinforces incremental growth in core academic courses, while ensuring that our scholars have the personal and emotional resources needed to be successful in life after graduation.
We believe in meeting our scholars where they are and working with them to develop the tools they will need to excel, wherever their life journey may take them.
“Miss Simmons is very new to this school but during her time here she shows how thoughtful and caring of a teacher she is. She also treat us like her own kids.”
“Our teacher [Mr. Kennabrew] taught us not only about the classroom, but also about the real world and gave us an 8th grade experience that will last a lifetime.”
“Nuestro profesor [el Sr. Kennabrew] nos enseΓ±Γ³ no sΓ³lo en el aula, sino tambiΓ©n en el mundo real y nos dio una experiencia de 8ΒΊ curso que durarΓ‘ toda la vida”.
“Ms. Collins went above and beyond with taking care and attending to ECS scholars, who are forever grateful. She has helped scholars emotionally and academically.”
“La Sra. Collins ha ido mΓ‘s allΓ‘ en el cuidado de los alumnos de ECS, que le estΓ‘n eternamente agradecidos. Ha ayudado a los alumnos emocional y acadΓ©micamente”.
βOur teacher, Michael Leone, communicated with me about my child’s wellbeing in school and also gave me advice on how to help my child achieve.β
βMr. Goodbridge is a tough and strict teacher and he has a personality that will make you feel like a better person about yourself.β
βMr. Diaz was always there to help Pech’e & Clifton on many occasions. He has guided my son Clifton through many situations and calmed him down. Thank you for your patience and your hard work.β
“I love working at Equality because we prioritize serving scholars who would otherwise be ignored, cast aside, or mistreated. We love and respect our scholars as humans, not just students!”
βMr. Goodridge is like a coach for Kamora and a parent when I’m not there. He communicates with me about everything relating to my child and I just appreciate him for just always being there! We love Mr Goodridge, he’s great!β
Collaboration & Community
We are a community of passionate individuals, committed to transforming education in the Bronx. We believe that hiring and keeping high-quality teachers is what makes the difference in a childβs education at Equality.
Working with us requires an open mind, a commitment to hard work, and faith in the long game. We do our best to find the right positions for everyone, where they are engaged, challenged, and successful.

Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle.
After 11 incredible years, itβs time to say goodbye to 2141 Seward.
When we opened our doors here in 2014, we werenβt just moving into a buildingβwe were creating a home for a community. Within these walls, hundreds of scholars discovered who they are, chased their dreams, celebrated milestones, and grew into the young adults they are today.
This building has witnessed so much more than classes and school days. It has been the backdrop for first days and graduations, friendships and memories, challenges and triumphs. It has seen staff members begin careers, grow families, celebrate lifeβs biggest moments, and support one another through every season.
While weβll miss the halls, classrooms, and memories that made 2141 Seward so special, what made this place extraordinary was never the building itselfβit was the people who filled it with purpose, joy, and love.
As we turn the page and begin a new chapter at 801 Bartholdi, we carry every lesson, memory, and relationship with us.
Thank you, 2141 Seward. Youβll always be part of our story. β€οΈ
