Students at Manhattan Nation School are establishing themselves as keepers of the Martin Luther King Jr. enthusiasm.
On Sunday, three students dazzled hundreds of people at the Brooklyn Museum by reading excerpts from their essays about domestic rights, a tradition at Manhattan Country, a private school on East 96th Row.
And on Monday, the Martin Luther King’s Birthday sabbatical, they braved the frigid temperatures to walk a self-designed nerve trail, stopping along the way for more eighth graders to read their essays aloud.
Manhattan Mother country School says its philosophy is “to ensure that our students have the acquaintanceship, passion and confidence to become fully realized and caring members of a divergent global community, as well as conscientious inhabitants of the fragile planet we call severely.” It was founded in 1966, and since then, its Web site says, “venereal justice has driven the school’s progressive public activity.” Tuition is charged on a sliding scale based on a one's nearest’s finances. Full tuition is $33,500 a year for lower grades and $36,500 for fifth to eighth grades.
