Vision and Mission

At PS 889, we provide an educational experience that is both rigorous and joyful, and designed to ignite the gifts and talents in every child, every day. The use of the school enrichment model will foster enjoyment, engagement and enthusiasm for learning as our students participate in theme-based units of study that incorporate the arts, music, and movement and experiences working with experts connected to the theme to make learning relevant and authentic. Direct instruction using the workshop approach in foundational literacy and math is equally prominent in our program. Though the collaborative effort of dedicated teachers and engaged families, our students will be equipped with the content knowledge, critical thinking skills and timeless values necessary to be productive members of our school community and their communities at-large. 

Core Values

Be Rigorous: Work hard, think hard, come prepared to do your best every day and commit to being a lifelong learner.
Be Curious: Ask questions, listen closely, discuss, and explore ways to foster creativity and innovation.
Be Principled: Tell the truth, show respect, take responsibility for your actions even in challenging situations.
Be Collaborative: Help, share, encourage and value each other; contribute to your team. 
Be Joyful: Show your smile, stare your positivity, find happiness each day and have fun while you learn!
