Like NY's public schools, the free Advantage Learning Lab on Roosevelt Island will be closed for "February break" from Friday 2/12, to Monday 2/22. The Learning Lab has provided service for all children from kindergarten through 8th grade who were enrolled in Blended learning. The NYC Department Of Youth & Community Development recently expanded its policy so that Learning Labs can also include Fully Remote students.  

Students are not only attending their on-line classes

under the watchful eyes of professional staff, they are also able to enjoy enrichment activities 

 like chess, art, and gym activities, 

with adult oversight to maintain social distancing.  

Admission is available on a rolling basis by contacting Paul Fontana, the Director, at pfontana@advantagetennisclubs.com. Parents can take advantage of the February break to contact Paul and make the needed arrangements to begin when public schools and the Learning Lab are back in session on 2/22.
