George T. Delacorte... our namesake philanthropist

Our campus is named after a New York philanthropist, who also founded a famous publishing company.  George donated money so that theatre could flourish in Central Park.  He repaced folding chairs and a portable stage with a permanent theatre.  We are proud to name our innovative, international, globally devoted learning community after such a generous person!  When our plaza clock chimes, we thank you, Mr. Delacorte!
Daily, our K-5 school community flourishes in Delacorte Plaza, with access to wildlife, a marsh habitat, visitors from around the world, and the sidewalks of New York!
