Special Programs
Grade Projects
P.S. 163 serves an ethnically diverse population, including Asians, Eastern Europeans, Hispanics, Arabics and African Americans. Many of these children are English Language Learners and have special language learning needs. We also host children from the Fort Hamilton Army Base.
At present there are many programs and services offered which are successful and worthwhile. Funded programs include Corrective Reading, English as a Second Language, Reading Recovery and Super Start Pre-Kindergarten. Other support services include resource room/teacher consultant, guidance, speech therapy, adaptive physical education and occupational therapy. Our students also participate in Conflict Resolution, The DARE drug prevention program, and the Family Living Program.
Special Education is an important
part of P.S. 163. In addition to being mainstreamed in all activities,
the children are exposed to special teaching strategies to meet their academic
need.
