The Countee Cullen Literacy Academy, P.S. 194, is a Renaissance School in a Renaissance District. Our vision is to ensure that our students are empowered with the knowledge, skills, and character needed to become self-directed, lifelong learners. Our parents are partners in the pursuit of academic excellence as we work collaboratively to create the best environment for our children. We will accomplish this by encouraging our students to become readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists and world leaders. They will be successful, productive, and caring global citizens who practice and extend democratic principles in the community and aboard. We are preparing our students for the technological advances of the twenty-first century.
