Longview School in Brewster is launching an after-school program in February that will include virtual reality and game-based learning platforms. It will be open to all students in 5th to 10th grades, both in Brewster and the surrounding community.

Longview School Director Mark Jacobs is joined by educators and staff, members of the Brewster Chamber of Commerce, and other stakeholders in cutting the ribbon to officially open the new school building, located at 571 North Main Street, across from Kobacker’s Market.

As a 30-student, K-12 school located in a nearly 10,000 square foot building, Longview is in a far better position than the much larger public or private schools. Mark Jacobs, Longview School co-founder and Director stated: “Whereas so many schools will necessarily expose students to hundreds of points of contact with other people every day, Longview is different. Since we have as many students in the entire school as some schools have in one classroom, our whole school is like one cohort group and points of contact can be kept to a minimum.”

A mix of over 40 adults and students took part in the AEROx 2019 Regional Gathering this weekend hosted by Longview School in Brewster, NY. We had a diverse group of adults and teens from CT, MA, NH, NJ, NY, VT, and Ontario Canada.

Longview School students were honored last month by being asked to participate in a panel about their school and its unique educational approach as part of the AEROx Virtual Conference.

The Portfolio Art Class at Longview School in Brewster was created at the request of students who wished to heighten their skills either overall or in particular areas of art.
