At PS 222 we celebrate cultural, multi-ethnic and academic diversity. A high expectation for all our students is critical to their success. We are dedicated to the education of the whole child. We strive to create an atmosphere in which all our students are academically challenged and emotionally nurtured. PS 222 incorporates all the tenets of Balanced Literacy into all our curricula areas in order to enfranchise all of our students with literacy. At PS 222, we recognize that children bring their own template of individual talents. It is our firm belief that by creating a school in which each child feels respected and nurtured, we can cultivate each child as individuals and help them realize their fullest potential.
