Message from our partners at New York City Outward Bound:

We're NOT Waiting for Superman!

With the release of the controversial new documentary Waiting for Superman, school reform is in the national spotlight. But at NYC Outward Bound we’re not waiting for Superman to provide our students with excellent schools. That’s our responsibility, not the Man of Steel’s. In fact, it is more than our responsibility, it is our mission.
