Our mission at P.S. 3 is to encourage all children to become confident and self-motivated lifelong learners, as well as to inspire them to become compassionate human beings. The integrated arts curriculum teaches children to examine their world from a broader perspective, deepening their academic curiosity and love of learning.
Respect for the individuality of each child and for the well being of the community are central to the schools teaching philosophy. The concept of community is a central message that we share with the children of P.S. 3. Our daily collaboration as parents, teachers and administrators serves as an example to the students, who learn the power of working together as a group with shared goals. As well, children learn to value the unique insights and contributions of each member of our community. Our school considers bias-free learning and respect for others as the foundation for a meaningful education.
Finally, children at P.S. 3 develop the capacity to embrace a greater understanding of the world, to celebrate difference and to strive to be of service to local and global communities.
