A School That Feels Like Family

Take comfort knowing your child is in a caring environment with teachers who understand that each child is unique and teach to each child’s strength. Children master each lesson and grow in a safe, loving environment. Teachers hold one another accountable and work together to make learning a magical experience for children. Communication is a high priority for the leadership who are always available to parents looking for guidance and answers.

Murray Hill’s Hidden Gem

Just like its central location in the charming neighborhood of Murray Hill, Ruth N. Upson serves as the center of community life for children. It boasts a diverse student body with equally diverse extracurricular activities: yoga, coding, dance, and safety patrol.

Ruth N. Upson continues to live up to its reputation as Murray Hill’s premier community school. Its namesake left an incredible legacy after serving as the school’s principal for 32 years, and that same devotion and commitment to students lives on today.
