Where childhood is honored
Admissions here is more than an application process. It is the beginning of a relationship.
Who thrives here
Our students are curious explorers, creative thinkers, and compassionate community members. Families who join PS1 believe education should spark a love of learning, encourage individuality, and build empathy.
Our approach to admissions
Just as our classrooms are personalized and child-centered, our admissions process is relational. We look beyond test scores and transcripts to understand each child's story, interests, and potential. We invite families who share our belief in pluralism, where many perspectives create a stronger community.
The journey ahead
The PS1 journey is a seven-year arc that celebrates childhood while preparing students for life beyond elementary school. Along the way children are supported by expert teachers, enriched by specialist programs, and empowered by chances to lead.
What the first visit feels like
From the moment we stepped on campus, we knew our child would be truly seen here. PS1 feels like a second home.
The dedication to placing children at the heart of every conversation and decision was evident from the start.
