SchoolSharp+ is a Saturday enrichment program for students in Grades K–12, serving families in New York City for more than twenty years. The program was created to extend the standard school curriculum and give students the time, structure, and teaching quality needed to think deeply and learn independently.
Located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side at Union Theological Seminary, SchoolSharp+ offers in-person and live online classes in math, science, computer science, test preparation, languages, and humanities.
SchoolSharp+ was founded on a simple idea: meaningful academic growth requires more time, better structure, and expert teaching than weekday schedules typically allow.
Challenging material without grade pressure
Problem-solving, inquiry, and deep thinking
Multiple years of learning and growth
"SchoolSharp+ exists to give students that space—and to do it consistently."
Founder & Director
SchoolSharp+ is a Saturday enrichment program designed to:
Extend the basic school curriculum
Build confidence and curiosity
Develop strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
Support long-term academic independence
Students are encouraged to ask questions, test ideas, and engage deeply with material rather than memorize procedures.
This mission shapes every class, every curriculum decision, and every teacher selection.
Many students join SchoolSharp+ in the early elementary years and remain enrolled through middle school and beyond. This long-term approach allows skills to compound over time.

Families often describe SchoolSharp+ as more than a program—it is a community. Students learn alongside peers who value curiosity and effort, supported by teachers who know them well.
"This sense of continuity and shared purpose is what keeps families engaged year after year."
Most families begin their SchoolSharp+ experience by attending a free Saturday trial class. This allows parents and students to observe teaching style, classroom structure, and expectations before enrolling.
