The Lang School

Why We Love Lang & Why Your Support Matters Working at The Lang School is more than just a job—it’s being part of a community that believes in every student’s potential. Every day, we witness the incredible growth of our twice-exceptional (2e) students—gifted kids who also face challenges like ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and anxiety. We see their struggles, their breakthroughs, and their resilience. Every staff member—leadership, operations, faculty, and therapy teams—plays a role in supporting students, from morning arrival to recess and dismissal. We know every student by name, collaborate closely, and support one another at every step. Our students are brilliant and passionate, sharing random fun facts in the hallway, working through tough transitions, and opening up about their dreams and ideas. Providing this specialized education isn’t easy—the cost of a desk, a field trip, or the resources they need all add up. That’s why we need your help. The Love a Lang Kid fundraiser ensures that every student has access to the education, services, and experiences they deserve. Every dollar—$1, $20, $50, or more—makes a real, direct impact. At Lang, we are more than just a school. We are a community. We are Langsters. Please consider donating today. ??

Students in Action! Ahmed Abdel-Basit’s class was out in the field this week, conducting biodiversity surveys as part of their ecology chapter activities!? ?They were identifying both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors in the environment, learning how ecosystems work and the role different elements play in maintaining balance. #EcologyInAction #HandsOnLearning #STEMEducation #FutureScientists #BiodiversityExploration #TheLangSchool #2eEducation

Engaging young minds in chemistry! Ahmed Abdel-Basit’s high school chemistry class is hard at work creating wall posters to visually explain the difference between mass and atomic number. It’s amazing to see their teamwork and creativity in action as they dive deeper into the world of atoms. #STEMEducation #ChemistryInAction #HandsOnLearning #FutureScientists #AtomicExploration #TheLangSchool #2eEducation

We recently had the pleasure of hearing from Reid Kuioka, our Director of Enrollment and Data Systems at The Lang School, about the vital role that data plays in our educational approach. In his insightful article, Reid discusses how collecting, assessing, and utilizing data enhances our ability to support each student’s unique journey. Reid emphasizes that effective data management goes beyond mere numbers; it informs our decisions, shapes our strategies, and ultimately enhances student outcomes. By analyzing data, we can identify trends, tailor our programs, and ensure that every child receives the support they need to thrive. We encourage you to read Reid's full article to learn more about how we leverage data to create a more personalized and impactful educational experience for our students. ?? https://lnkd.in/emhbQnxK #TheLangSchool #DataDriven #Education #StudentSuccess #PersonalizedLearning #Innovation

Last week, our Morningside students had an incredible day exploring the National Museum of the American Indian! ??? They delved into Native American history, culture, and art, making connections to their classroom studies. From examining traditional artifacts to learning about indigenous storytelling, it was an eye-opening experience for everyone. The students were fully engaged as they explored the rich history and diverse traditions of Native peoples, gaining new perspectives and a deeper understanding of this important part of American heritage. A big thank you to the museum staff for guiding us through such an enriching journey! ?? #NativeAmericanHistory #TheLangSchool #MuseumLearning #LangSchoolAdventures #HandsOnEducation #CulturalExploration #MorningsideFieldTrip

Lang’s Upper School English Language Arts students recently took a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, chaperoned by Greig, Jimmy, and Tucker. We linked our study of ancient Greece, particularly Plato’s Apologyand The Trial and Death of Socrates, with a visit to the museum’s Greek and Roman wing. There, students examined objects from classical Greece and earlier, exploring how the Greeks told stories through art. They closely analyzed the details in the artworks, making text-to-object connections. We also made a powerful text-to-text connection by linking Socrates’ life and ideas to "The Death of Socrates" by Jacques-Louis David, located in the European Paintings wing. Our group gathered for a photo in front of this iconic painting. The trip was both fun and educational, reinforcing classroom concepts in an engaging, hands-on way. We’re especially grateful to the Met (The Metropolitan Museum of Art ) for providing two expert docents, Teddy and Rosalie, from their renowned educational department, who helped make the experience even more enriching for our students. #GreekArtandPhilosophy #HandsOnLearning #MuseumEducation #SocratesAtTheMet #AncientGreeceInArt #LangSchoolFieldTrip #2eEducation #TheLangSchool

Today, we had the honor of welcoming Qatar Foundation's Pre-University Education Leadership delegation. Coordinated with the Qatar Cultural Attaché Office connected to the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Washington, DC, this visit provided a unique opportunity to showcase our innovative approach to twice-exceptional (2e) education. The delegation traveled from Qatar to learn about Lang’s methods and philosophies, and it was a wonderful chance to share our insights and experiences. We hope this visit marks the beginning of a fruitful partnership as they design 2e programs for students in Qatar. We look forward to future collaborations that will benefit our students and contribute to the global conversation on education! #TheLangSchool #2eEducation #Collaboration #Partnerships #Innovation #EducationLeadership
