 Mission Statement
It
is the mission of P.S. 163 to provide an academic environment that
engages and enriches our students through a rigorous and
developmentally appropriate program of instruction. In this way, we
promote the joy of learning and help the efforts of each student to
meet or exceed the Chancellor’s Learning Standards.
At
P.S. 163, our instructional program fosters creativity while respecting
individual differences in learning styles. Our literacy and math
programs develop in our students a core of important knowledge and
promote critical reasoning as well as problem solving skills. P.S 163
provides instruction in content areas to examine ideas that shape our
world. Our cluster programs offer a well-rounded exposure to the arts
and technology.
The P.S. 163 approach is
sensitive to the individual needs of children. Our school community
fosters respect for cultural diversity by developing a sense of trust
and open communication. The P.S. 163 staff views elementary school as a
platform for future academic success. We encourage intellectual
curiosity as a stimulus that can lead students to become successful,
life-long learners.
