Ross Global Academy was a public charter school from 2006 to 2011 in Lower Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States.

The school opened in September 2006 with more than 160 students and its enrollment eventually grew to 400. It was closed in 2011 by New York City and state officials for various reasons, including poor performance.[1][2]

The school was developed in collaboration with

East Hampton, which follows a spiral curriculum designed by William Thompson and Ralph Abraham. The school was initially slated to be housed in the same building as the NEST+m school, in the Lower East Side, a controversial decision which was eventually revised.[3][4]

In its inception, the school was housed within the

Time-Warner.[4]

By 2009, RGA had expanded to serve grades K-8, and had moved to a

Girls Prep who were slated to occupy the building.[7][8]
