All children have a right to an education that promotes creativity, high expectations and standards-based instruction through expert teaching. The mission of the P.S. 225 administration and staff is to create a nurturing and exciting environment in which children of multicultural and multiethnic backgrounds can appreciate and celebrate the diversity of ideas, values and culture in the school community. Our mission statement, “I BELIEVE IN ME”, strives to foster and sustain a cultural and instructional program conducive to student learning; create lifelong learners by promoting literacy; help children acquire the strategies needed to apply academic concepts to new learning and include parents as partners in the teaching and learning process.
