The New York City Public School for Dance (NYCPSD) is a unique collaboration between Ballet Tech and the NYC Department of Education. The School, comprised of grades 4-8, integrates ballet-training with a public education. The academic curriculum follows the New York State Regents requirements, supplemented with the arts. In addition to academics and ballet, students study dance history, visual arts and music, and attend a four-week summer intensive program as part of their training.

The NYCPSD offers a specialized curriculum in a small school setting. Most classes have fewer than 25 students. The school provides a nurturing environment that prepares students for whatever choices they make in their professional dance or collegiate careers.

In addition to a full academic day, 4th and 5th grade students have the oppurtunity to join the after-school program, which provides enriching artistic and literacy activities five days/week from 3-6pm. There is a nominal fee for participation.
