The Beekman School
About Beekman :: History

The Beekman School of today continues a rich tradition of academic excellence that began more than 80 years ago. From its beginnings as The Tutoring School of New York, Beekman has remained true to the vision of its founder, George Matthew. His objective was simple and direct – to create a school where the full potential of every student can be realized within the framework of a traditional high school education.

An essential component of Mr. Matthew’s vision was the need for an intimate environment, where a quality education can be delivered in a highly-focused manner. Our unique townhouse setting provides this key component. It assures small class sizes, allows greater student-teacher interaction, and supports a collegial atmosphere that produces extraordinary results.

Today, Beekman offers a fully comprehensive college-prep curriculum. We combine classroom-style education with one-on-one instruction that is still offered through The Tutoring School component of our school. The vision of our founder lives on. While George Matthew may marvel at the Beekman School of the 21st century with its high-tech innovations, he would surely recognize its spirit as his own.
