MISSION STATEMENT

P. S. 86 models itself as a school community where excellence is a way of life. We are committed to educating and empowering each student by providing a high quality, comprehensive, education in a safe and supportive learning environment. Students will acquire the literacy skills essential to meet and exceed the standards from educators who will promote self-discipline and motivation. We provide a rigorous curriculum incorporating the arts and wellness, in which students are required to communicate effectively, think analytically, work collaboratively and solve problems. We equip students to take ownership of their learning, while enlisting the collaborative efforts of peers, parents, teachers, non-teaching staff and community leaders.  We encourage curiosity and build leadership skills as students grow to be caring, contributing citizens who will excel in an ever-changing world.
