Mission Statement

 P.S. 153 is committed to creating a climate which promotes achievement of high academic standards and the pursuit of excellence. Our riskier learning environment will ensure that all children will be
motivated to face the challenges of the new millennium and become independent, critical thinkers,
problem solvers and lifelong learners. They will learn to be caring individuals that develop an
appreciation and respect for cultural diversity. Through cooperation and participation of parents and
the school community, our children will become productive citizens and leaders of tomorrow.
