Academy of American Studies
Grace Papaseraphim: My daughters attended this school and both graduated fully prepared for honors college classes. It's a small school (150 children per grade) and specializes in American History. It also has a full curriculum of standard and honors and AP classes and the BEST teachers in all of New York City. I highly recommend it.
