The innovative program will launch in September of this year.
As spring begins to dawn across New York City, we look forward to new beginnings and fresh starts. Before we know it, September will be right around the corner, and a new school year will be upon us. Finding the right school or program for your child can pose quite the challenge. You want to ensure that they’re receiving a structured education, but also in an environment where they are encouraged to be creative and thrive, and where the emotions associated with starting school and transitioning to new surroundings and learnings will be nurtured and acknowledged.
As your child gets older, you also want to ensure that their school provides efficient and effective college preparatory classes and research, ensuring your child can get the higher education that they deserve.

This September, enroll your child in Sage Alliance Schools’ therapeutic program. Ideal for students and families looking for a personalized experience that integrates a holistic approach to academia, and specializing in rigorous classes including Humanities, Social Studies, Science and more, Sage Alliance schools have a curriculum that is customized for each student and meets New York State learning standards and helps strengthen the chances of students getting into college.
The Sage program is designed to serve students in grades seven through 12 who require a customized academic experience that fosters both academic and social-emotional growth. Students often come to Sage with challenges including anxiety, depression, social exclusion, and school avoidance, but excel academically. With a strong emphasis on individualized instruction, Sage combines rigorous academics with therapeutic support to help students achieve their full potential and thrive academically.
“We are thrilled to bring Sage Alliance Schools to New York and provide families with an option that prioritizes individualized support and student success,” said Dr. Ryan Plosker, Senior Vice President, New Story. “With nearly 30 years of services in New Jersey, our expansion to New York reflects our commitment to offering high-quality, personalized education to students who may need a more tailored approach to thrive.”
According to research conducted by the New York City State of Mental Health, a significant portion of students struggle with mental health, with 38 percent of public high school students reporting feeling sad or hopeless. Meanwhile, in 2023, the Learning Policy Institute called for more social emotional learning for students across America. At the Sage Alliance, there is a strong emphasis on individualized instruction, with a unique combination of rigorous academics and therapeutic support to help students achieve their full potential.
The program has a strong focus on college prep as well, ensuring through small, structured classrooms that each student feels seen, heard, and supported while building academic confidence, exploring post-secondary plans, and realizing their full potential. Sage Alliance also offers support to students and their families during the post-secondary planning process, making it seamless and understandable for all.
This includes working with students to create personalized academic plans for each school year, administering on-site PSAT, SAT, and ACT tests, hosting Financial Aid Nights, and organizing tours of local colleges and universities. With these resources and guidance, students and their families can develop effective plans for their next steps.
Located in the heart of Manhattan, the school boasts multiple features designed to help children, including 13 classrooms, a gymnasium, student lounge and cafeteria, music room, counseling offices, among other amenities.
The Sage program also works to ensure a close-knit and professional bond with both students and parents, offering:
- Holistic Support: Tailored individual, group, and family therapy integrated into the school day.
- Trusted Collaboration: Teachers, therapists, and school leadership work closely with families to address each student’s needs.
- Personalized Learning: Tailored education plans that promote academic progress, confidence, and resilience
- Post-Secondary Success: 100% of Sage Alliance graduates have plans in place for life after high school, including college, trade school, or the workforce.
Sage Alliance has been around for over 25 years, and their students have went on to attend notable higher-education institutions including Adelphi University, Boston College, George Washington University, Marymount Manhattan College, New York University, Rutgers University, and more.
