Children at PS3 - Independence
PS3 provides children with a vibrant learning environment that nurtures their intellectual, social, physical and emotional growth. Children learn through hands-on involvement with subjects and materials that are connected to the world around them. Teachers and staff members at PS3 actively encourage children to take initiative, be resourceful, and show independence and discernment in their classroom work. At PS3, children collaborate and communicate with fellow students of all ages. Our mission at PS3 is to encourage all children to become confident self-motivated lifelong learners, and inspire them to become compassionate human beings.
Teaching and Learning - Innovation
At PS3, the integrated arts curriculum teaches children to examine their world from a broader perspective, deepening their academic curiosity and love of learning. The attention to STEM and Social Studies as a domain integrated with literacy stimulates engagement and challenges all learners. Teachers meet regularly to exchange ideas on the best learning tools, practices, and impact on student learning. By maintaining a responsive educational model, teachers are able to provide instruction and support
that corresponds to students’ individual needs. The teachers at PS3 place a high value on academic standards and risk taking, while honoring the diverse approaches, backgrounds, and contexts that students require to learn and grow successfully.
Community
The concept of community is paramount to PS3’s identity. We focus on our relationships with each other, the surrounding neighborhood, our city, and the world at large. Bias free learning and a respect for others is the foundation for meaningful education. Empathy and understanding for a range of
experiences is embedded in curriculum and honored as lived experiences. We utilize concepts “big and small” to develop empathy and respect, while nurturing individual curiosity and driving a passion for learning inside and outside of school. Finally, children at PS3 develop the capacity to embrace a greater understanding of the world, to celebrate difference, and to strive to be of service to local and global communities.
