The Mott Hall School
Welcome to The Mott Hall School!
We are a District Six screened middle school dedicated to preparing our Scholars to become future leaders in Mathematics, Science, and Technology. At Mott Hall, we embrace and encourage thinking critically about the world through an accelerated curriculum offered in all content areas. We're proud to be located in our [new] home on 164th Street in Washington Heights!
We want to hear from you! Complete the NYC School Survey by March 31st!
It's time to fill out the NYC School Survey! Every year, the results from this survey help our school have a better understanding of your experience with all things Mott Hall. The information collected in this survey helps us to celebrate our successes and to plan for future improvements.
The survey can be accessed in two ways:
- NYC Schools Account: Sign into your NYC Schools account and you will see the survey on the Dashboard.
- Survey Link with OSIS Number: Type "f" + your student's nine-digit OSIS number (f123456789).
The survey closes March 31st!

MHS March Calendar
Curriculum
The goal of the Mott Hall School’s curriculum is the development of skilled students who are self-directed critical thinkers.
Young Scholars
Mott Hall students are considered young scholars. They learn subject matter through a constructivist and project-based approach using powerful learning techniques such as Socratic dialogues, literature circles, writing for student publications, digital film making and web site creation.
The curriculum is further enriched by its alignment to the Common Core NationalStandards. Students are offered accelerated special courses and seminars as well as special enrichment electives such as chess, robotics and stock market studies which engage them in real world investigations tied directly to student needs and interests.
Technology @ MHS
Mott Hall has a technology-rich environment. As one of the first schools in NYC to have laptops, we have continued to grow in our use of technology both in and out of the classroom. Each student has their own device for use at school, and students can request a device to use at home throughout the school year. Our teachers use Google Classroom to post work and grades. We encourage parents to facilitate a weekly check-in on assignments to support our scholars in their academic progress.
