The Institute for Collaborative Education (also called ICE) is a college-preparatory public secondary school (grades 6–12) in the Gramercy Park neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City near Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village. Part of the DOE's District 2, the school is known for its small class sizes and progressive educational values. The school is philosophically opposed to high-stakes standardized tests. It is a member of the New York Performance Standards Consortium and is "given a waiver from the chancellor's uniform curriculum." As a Consortium school, ICE's students are exempt from taking most Regents exams. Instead, students present "PBAT" (Performance-Based Assessment Task) projects at the end of each semester to panels of teachers, parents, and outside community members. Until recently, ICE was a screened school, requiring middle school applicants to submit an essay and undergo an interview. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the school changed to a lottery system, but with two "priority groups": Diversity: 50% of the school's seats go to students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch Sibling priority: Students with a sibling currently in 6th through 11th grade at ICE have priority

Society for the Lying-In Hospital

The Society for the Lying-In Hospital was an American maternity hospital situated at 305 Second Avenue between East 17th and 18th Streets in the Stuyvesant Square neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Now known as Rutherford Place, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Lying-in is an archaic term for childbirth (referring to the month-long bed rest prescribed for postpartum confinement). It was built in 1902 and designed by architect R. H. Robertson in the Renaissance Revival style, with a Palladian crown at the top. Swaddled babies decorate the windows of the 5th floor and the spandrels of the building, which was converted to offices and apartments in 1985 by Beyer Blinder Belle.As the years passed, John Pierpont Morgan, Jr. was concerned about the long-term stability of the hospital his father had so generously provided for. He recruited John D. Rockefeller, Jr.; George F. Baker, Sr.; and George F. Baker, Jr. to join forces in establishing an association with New York Hospital. Upon the subsequent opening of the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center in 1932, the Lying-In Hospital moved out of the Second Avenue building. It became the more modern-sounding Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of New York Hospital, which is still part of NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital. This hospital was "said to account for 60 percent of all births in Manhattan." Some of their staff did medical research.
