PS 169 is dedicated to creating a nurturing and intellectually enriched environment that develops each child’s unique capabilities in a home-school environment. It is our goal for all children to foster a love of learning, to stimulate critical thinking, to encourage a caring and compassionate school community, and to prepare the leaders of tomorrow.

We do this by embracing cultural diversity, building understanding and tolerance of differences, fostering creativity, developing self esteem, employing multiple teaching strategies, integrating the arts, exhibiting an elevated degree of professionalism, maintaining high expectations and applying consistent standards for all children, encouraging active parent guardian participation, and involving the entire school and community in a commitment to excellence in all we do for children.

At PS 169, we cultivate children to coexist in the garden of life while displaying their singular characteristics.
