At Dreyfus Intermediate School 49, we are more than just a middle school, we are a vibrant, nurturing community where every child is seen, supported, and empowered to thrive. As a proud Title I Community School, serving students in grades 6 through 8, we understand that our families may face challenges, but we meet them with unwavering support, compassion, and a deep commitment to student success. Our mission is to build lasting relationships with families, cultivate trust, and create a school environment where children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn every day. We've built strong, meaningful partnerships with respected organizations such as the YMCA, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Seamen's Society, SUNDOG Theatre, Urban Advantage, and many more. These partnerships provide our students with a wealth of academic, social-emotional, and enrichment opportunities-both during and after the school day. Whether through mentorship, the arts, STEM exploration, or emotional wellness, our students receive the individualized attention they need to flourish. At Dreyfus, your child will be part of a community that believes in their potential, supports their growth, and celebrates their unique journey every step of the way.
