The P.S. 89 school community believes in creating 21st century student-centered classrooms where students can thrive. Our goal is to build a strong foundation that will allow students to participate in a risk-free environment and apply their real-world experiences to achieve their greatest academic potential. We will monitor our students’ progress towards meeting high expectations and adjust instruction accordingly. Along with all constituencies, we will strive to build upon our students’ strengths and enable them to develop their self-esteem, curiosity, and a love of learning.
