P.S.199'S Vision

At PS 199, we envision a learning community where every child is empowered with a growth mindset, believing that their abilities can be cultivated through effort, practice, and resilience. In our classrooms, curiosity is nurtured, challenges are embraced, and mistakes are celebrated as opportunities for learning. We strive to inspire a lifelong love of learning, instilling in our young learners the confidence to tackle any obstacle they encounter.

We foster a culture of curiosity, resilience, and determination, where students are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and take chances in their learning journey. We provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where every child feels valued and has a sense of belonging.
