At PS 101 it is our mission to prepare children to live and prosper in a
technologically advanced world. In keeping with the Chancellor's regulations
and the standards curriculum we have integrated the areas of math, reading,
writing, science and technology into our daily curriculum. We believe that
each child's unique needs and talents should be nurtured so that they will
develop a passion for learning and acquire the skills needed for societal
membership and meaningful employment. Our parents work with the school to
encourage reading and higher level thinking skills, respect for oneself and
one another, cultural awareness and diversity. The entire school community
works together towards achieving high performance standards. We believe that
every child should be provided with all opportunities available to ensure
that they reach their full potential.
