Principal’s Message

As a magnet school, we are proud to provide students with engaging, hands-on learning experiences that integrate the arts and support academic growth. Our focus on Project-Based Learning (PBL) encourages students to think critically, collaborate with peers, and solve real-world problems—building essential skills that prepare them for future success.

In addition to rigorous academics, our students participate in a variety of arts residencies and enrichment opportunities designed to support their social-emotional development, creativity, and love of learning. These programs take place during the school day, after school, and on weekends—creating a well-rounded experience for every child.

At P.S. 135, we pride ourselves on being a school that C.A.R.E.S.—cultivating curiosity and creativity, achieving academic excellence, respecting ourselves and others, exploring new ideas and opportunities, and supporting every learner every day. These values are at the heart of everything we do and help guide our work as we strive to create a safe, inclusive, and nurturing learning environment for all students.
