Learn with joy
Children learn through unbridled curiosity, abundant questions, and opportunities to learn from failure. Learning journeys are not a means to an end, but one stage in lifelong exploration.
Mission and values
A balanced program with strong academics, rooted in joyful inquiry, pluralism as a lived practice, and relationships that help each child feel known.
Vision
Many voices build a better world.
Mission
To spark curious and critical thinkers who confidently contribute to their communities.
Four values, practiced daily
Our philosophy is guided by a clear sense of purpose. These are the four commitments families see in action every day.
Discover your full self
Students need safe environments where they can develop self-awareness, responsibility, and connection. We cultivate open minds and hearts so every learner can embrace challenges as opportunities.
Honor our lived experiences
Our individual identities unite and enrich us. We respect diverse strengths, talents, and experiences, knowing we are stronger because of our interactions.
Be part of something bigger
We encourage everyone to make connections and to see themselves as contributors to the PS1 community and the world beyond it.
Pluralism is the practice, not the poster
A community is enriched when individual differences are understood, respected, and welcomed. At PS1 that belief sets the shape of a school day.
