The light of education shines on Morningside Heights’ neighborhood of Manhattan. It’s known for having great colleges – the likes of Columbia University and Barnard College. And it has a college town feeling to it too. People smile a bit more, and there’s a strong interest in activities and the arts. Many a conversation has a bit of an academic bent to it. Professors are regular travelers down Morningside’s streets. But there are a few others too, about 55,000 folks.
It is known to be sorta family friendly. It’s also close to the financial center of New York City. Loads of opportunity for kids growing up in families. So you have young professionals, a finance crowd, heading for Goldman Sachs or the American Express. Other stop off at the movie theater, or eat at the local diner.
Morningside Heights has a bit of a laid back feeling for the big city atmosphere of the Manhattan area. There is not quite so much hustle and bustle as downtown. Although it is quite a busy time, first of the year at the local colleges. Good place for a young person to rise to stopping in for a first class education. Testing is a part of qualifying, and making it through the hurdles. Morningside Grade Potential Tutors are specialists in teaching youths how to measure up on their test taking skills. Having so many Columbia University people about spawns many an interesting conversation, on more than a handful of subjects, learning being the menu of the college.
Learning is the forte of Morningside Heights. Situationally, it is just above the Upper West Side’s Manhattan Valley and just below Harlem. It’s got variety and spice in people and college town activities.

There’s as many religious institutions as colleges: the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, Riverside Church, the Church of Notre Dame, Corpus Christi Church, and even has a Saint Luke’s Hospital.
Students of all ages have myriad opportunities to explore educationally, and societally. There’s also an interest in nature, valuable to a city dweller’s soul, the two major parks. Riverside and Morningside parks are a virtual oasis of green. Play in the park or indulge in outside school reading at one of the fine libraries about, or Morningside café. If one gets real hungry, there’s good ol American food, Indonesian, Malaysian, Cuban or Ethiopian. This influx of variety spurs students on to want to learn more, do more, and become successful in their lives. It’s a town for rising in the Morningside dawn and basking in the sunlight.
