Cooke Center School is a private special education school serving New York City students, ages 5 through 21, with mild to moderate cognitive or developmental disabilities that severely impact their acquisition of academic, social and daily living skills. Our school is also very effective for students with severe language-based learning disabilities that significantly impact their development of academic and social skills.

Prospective parents can obtain an application online or by calling the admissions office at (212) 995-1987.

We encourage all prospective families to learn more about our schools by attending an open house, where they can meet our staff and see first-hand how Cooke students learn in the classroom. Open houses take place through the fall, winter and early spring.

Cooke is a non-sectarian, non-profit organization. We are committed to maintaining a student body that reflects New York's economic and cultural diversity. We make it a priority to serve every child who can benefit from our programs, regardless of the family's financial circumstances.
