Holistic Curriculum

Beyond the ice, our certified teachers, counselors, mentors, and tutors engage FSH students in a dynamic array of off-ice educational activities. This comprehensive curriculum enriches study habits, enhances core competencies in reading, writing, and math, fosters positive social and emotional skills, imparts communication and literacy skills, introduces financial literacy, and explores STEM concepts, all while promoting good health and nutrition.

College Access Program

Guiding and training parents and students in high school and college readiness is a cornerstone of our mission. Our objective is clear: to prepare every girl for a four-year college journey. 100% of our program participants graduate from high school and matriculate to college.

SMALL GROUP LEARNING

Our small group tutoring sessions, led by more than 10 NYC Board of Education teachers, tutors, and graduate students, are designed to empower each student. Through individualized learning plans based on academic standing, observation, and assessment results, we ensure that girls are performing at or above their grade levels. The results speak volumes, with 88% of our girls maintaining a 88% average or higher.

COMMUNICATION COMPETENCY

Our students become confident communicators through weekly writing and public speaking classes. Younger students focus on competency and mechanics, while middle school participants craft personal narratives based on their life experiences. High school students take writing classes that prepare them for the college application process.

FSH’s vision is to empower every young girl with the foundational academic, social and leadership skills to achieve her dreams. She will be a powerful speaker, effective leader, live a healthy lifestyle and be a global citizen.
