Our Mission

At PS 163, we value diversity, equity, respect, and integration. We aim to infuse joy in learning while centering identity at the core. Students' cultural and lived experiences will be celebrated to appreciate our shared humanity. Childhood years should focus on social-emotional well-being and student-centered learning that inspires all children to achieve their full academic potential.
