What Trevor Day School does

Trevor Day School is an independent, coeducational Preschool through Grade 12 day school located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, founded in 1930 as The Day School of the Church of the Heavenly Rest and renamed in 1997 in honor of early Board President Paul Trevor. Following a 1991 merger with the New Walden Lincoln School, Trevor operates two owned campuses: the Lower School (PS-5) at 1 West 88th Street in the renovated Goodman Building, and a 105,000-square-foot LEED Gold-certified Middle and Upper School facility (grades 6-12) at 312 East 95th Street opened in 2015. The school enrolls approximately 740 students across the three divisions, supported by 51-100 employees per firmographic data, with a 100% college matriculation rate and 3,500+ alumni.

The academic program is built on an inquiry-based learning methodology and includes a core curriculum spanning Computer Science, English, History, Mathematics, Science, World Languages, Music, Performing Arts, and Visual Arts, augmented by signature programs in Environmental Studies, Global Studies, and Health & Wellness launched in 2022, the Mosaic empathy/inclusivity DEI curriculum (PS-12), the MiniTerm intensive (introduced 1980), and a Bridge transition program. The school pioneered the one-to-one laptop model among independent schools in 1996. Co-curricular offerings include 24 JV and Varsity athletic teams, 60+ clubs, 42 Upper School arts electives, college counseling, and after-school programs (Encore, Arts Conservatory, Summer Program), with students logging 8,200 hours of community service annually.

Trevor operates as a nonprofit governed by a Board of Trustees (currently chaired by President Samantha Regan for the 2026-2027 term) under Head of School Daniel Feigin '84, the institution's sixth head, since July 2023. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through annual tuition payments (specific amounts not publicly disclosed), supplemented by tuition assistance programs, ancillary after-school and summer programming, and fundraising via the Trevor Fund, Legacy Campaign, and named endowments. The school's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the Ravenna Hub admissions platform, supported by campus and virtual tours, a multi-platform social media presence, the Feigin Forum podcast, and a seasonal Trevor Magazine. The school is a member of NYSAIS and serves as both a peer accreditation visitor and a board contributor to peer institutions such as Packer Collegiate Institute.
