At PS 14 we believe that all children have talents and strengths. We strive to engage all students in enriching and inspiring ways. All students take at least one semester of the following courses EVERY year: dance, theater, music/piano, engineering, computer science 4 all, and SEL (social/emotional learning through visual arts). We believe in kindness and courage, and we believe that adults and children alike are ultimately responsible for our own learning, growth, and improvement. As a Leader in Me school, we practice 8 Habits of Highly Effective People with a goal of “owning our own learning.” Students have voice and choice in their learning, and we partner with parents— the people who know their children best— to best support all students.
