About Our School
Where every scholar thrives.
Founded in 1985, The Mott Hall School serves grades 6–8 with an accelerated curriculum that lets students graduate with high school Regents credits. Our advanced studies in mathematics, science, and technology are enriched by project-based learning, Socratic seminars, and real-world electives like robotics and filmmaking.
We believe in a community where every child belongs—whether they’re designing experiments in our tech-rich classrooms, performing with the National Dance Institute, or competing in Math Counts. Our scholars leave as independent thinkers, ready for the challenges of high school and beyond.
