Ditmas Educational Complex
At Intermediate School 62 |
| In
September 1996, Ditmas Intermediate School 62 was re-structured through their affiliation
with the Manhattan Institute into an educational complex consisting of four specialized
theme-based institutes. Each institute has its own director. Each institute provides
students with the required curriculum and a solid preparation for high school. Each
institute is autonomous with its own Student Government, Governance Committee and Parents
Association. In Addition, a joint Parents Association, consisting of parents from each
school, meets monthly to share concerns and plan building-wide events. |
