Welcome to Transfiguration!

Overview
For over 175 years, Transfiguration education has been a part of the convergence of the many people of different cultures that have lived, worked and grown up on the Lower East Side. It began as a free school for immigrant children in 1832, founded by Fr. Felix Varela. The Kindergarten was founded in 1970 by the Maryknoll Sisters. They were committed in helping the growing population of mothers entering the workforce. The legacy and vision of its founders continue to inspire the mission of the Transfiguration Early Childhood School and the Transfiguration Lower & Upper Schools.

Mission
Dedication to education in a value centered family environment continues to be the hallmark of Transfiguration's reputation. The students are nurtured to excel to the best of their abilities in their academic achievement, their development of character, and their service to the community
