Important Graduate School Update for Resident Teachers 🎓🏫
We are very excited to announce a new, expanded partnership with Touro University for the 2023-24 academic year!
In order to provide the most robust teacher preparation experience possible, we have partnered with Touro for Resident Teachers’ graduate school programming. All new Zeta Resident Teachers who were previously scheduled to attend Relay will now attend Touro.
What this Means for Uncertified Resident Teachers:
If you were previously scheduled to attend the Relay Graduate School of Education, you will now attend Touro.
All uncertified Resident Teachers will attend Touro for their graduate school program.
There is no need to worry if you already began completing your deliverables for Relay. The onboarding deliverables for Touro are very similar to that of Relay, so you will be able to use all requirements you have already completed towards your Touro application.
Please disregard previous application and certification deadlines and stand by for a new application guide that we will send soon.
We will provide application instructions in the coming weeks after finalizing arrangements with Touro! Please kindly stand by as we finalize next steps!

At Zeta, We Work Hard and Celebrate BIG!
One of the things that makes Zeta a uniquely special place to work, is the emphasis on JOY!
Everyone at Zeta - students, staff and families - works incredibly hard, and there is nothing we love more than to celebrate the amazing accomplishments of this team in a BIG way!
Our end-of-year events are particularly special to us, as they allow for a moment of reflection on all that the Zeta team has accomplished for kids over the school year, and excitement for all of the learning and joy to come in the new year!
This month, we marked the end of a momentous 2022-2023 school year by welcoming our entire Zeta community to participate in big, beautiful, fun and memorable events such as Field Day, Spirit Days and Graduation events!
We were especially thrilled and proud to host our very first Elementary School Graduation for our rising 6th-graders at our Zeta South Bronx and Zeta Inwood locations, where we celebrated our founding Zeta students and all of their amazing accomplishments in their elementary school years.
It was a truly unforgettable time, and we look forward to welcoming you to future Zeta graduations and many other events for years to come!
