Expanding the Universe

Prioritizing literacy, we emphasize more than foundational language skills like phonics, vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension. Dedicated teachers inject excitement into exploring the realms of reading and writing, understanding that avid readers evolve into lifelong learners. Our students are strong to the core with a holistic, data-driven approach to teaching.

Unlocking Possibilities

The science program combines practical experiments, literacy-focused activities, and engaging digital resources, enabling students to adopt the mindset and skills of scientists and engineers, and mathematics is a daily subject. Results? Our students' performance in the NYS ELA and math tests consistently exceeds both district and city averages.

EXTRAORDINARY "EXTRAS"

For Extraordinary Students

We strive to ensure that each day is filled with enjoyable and captivating activities for your child, encouraging their innate curiosity and eagerness to explore new things. For example, our kindergarten to fifth-grade students study the Mandarin language. Parents and guardians take comfort in knowing their children are not only receiving a comprehensive education with a wide variety of experiences but are also secure, active, and fully immersed both during and after school hours.

Our school benefits from an excellent location and partner cultural institutions like The Brooklyn Museum, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Prospect Park, and The Central Branch of The Brooklyn Public Library. We provide a diverse range of arts and extracurricular activities, including coding classes, tutoring, after-school care, violin, chess, chorus, tennis, soccer, and swimming. Every day is exciting at PS 241!
