Our Programs
As part of PS199’s mission, striving for higher standards is integral to student learning and achievement. We support all students in achieving proficiency, not only in English language arts and mathematics, but in all curriculum areas. Our great challenge, as that of many other schools, is meeting the needs of our diverse population, while keeping our expectations high. The teachers and staff of PS199 believe that creating an environment of pride and excitement within our classrooms promote self-motivation and resiliency for long term success. We are constantly studying new approaches and refining our practices to meet the needs of all our students.

Guided by expert specialists, students explore, innovate, and excel in a dynamic learning environment that fosters lifelong learning and personal growth. They learn from dedicated specialists who are experts in their fields and passionate about their craft.
Our Enrichment Programs
PS199 is located in a vibrant neighborhood in Manhattan, and the resources of New York City play a vital role in the success of our children's education. Our partnerships with numerous institutions bring in teaching artists, educators, and professionals who inspire and enrich our students' learning experience. Our enrichment programs are sustained by the hard work of our PS199 PTA in their annual fundraising efforts, and by the generosity of our parents and community.
