PS176Q

P.S.176Q is committed to building contributing members of this global society.

Our students are guided to set goals for reaching their highest potential. They receive quality standards based instruction that maximizes the development of their abilities, skills and talents. They develop proficiency in the core curriculum areas, Reading, Math, Science and Social Studies to meet and exceed the NYS and NYC Standards.

The school’s curriculum and classroom instruction engage our students in rigorous application of skills and strategies. Students develop the skill of using evidence to support arguments in discussion, which will then transfer to stronger writing in literacy and math, and develop the communication and collaboration skills that support college and career readiness.The Projects Approach are utilized to make classroom instruction adaptive to reflect a range from Exceptionally Gifted Children, Academically Gifted and Talented, General Education, Special Education, ELL students, Students in Temporary Housing and students who are emotionally and academically “At Risk.”

The P.S.176 Queens educators, support staff, parents and other community members work in collaboration with one another to convey high expectations for each and every child; to nurture our students with love, respect and encouragement in order to achieve their maximum potential. We succeed in creating a safe, secure, healthy, warm and welcoming environment. These proven practices always lead us to the realization of our vision, mission, and goals toward a successful learning community.
