A R O U N D C A M P U S New Partnership with Manhattan Childrens Center In an effort to help boys develop empathy and compassion for children with special needs, Saint David’s has partnered with Manhattan Childrens Center, a school on the Upper West Side that provides treatment and education to children with autism. This fall and winter each Second Grade class visited MCC six times, where our boys had the opportunity to engage in activities with MCC students. This new partnership with MCC provides our boys with an authentic opportunity to engage with children in our community who experience the world differently than they do. Instead of being wary of difference, our boys will learn to embrace it. 56  •  Saint David’s Magazine
