The Educational Alliance was one of the first settlement houses on the Lower East Side of New York City. Originally founded to help Eastern European Jews assimilate into American society, The Educational Alliance has proven to be a important stepping stone for all that have begun their American journey in Downtown Manhattan. Some trivia — The Art School is distinguished by its students and teachers — Louise Nevelson, Raphael and Moses Soyer taught here and Mark Rothko was a student.
