At Public School 32, The School for Applied Learning and Exploration, we believe that through standards-based instruction, every child will meet high standards of academic excellence. We believe this to be true for English Language Learners, students with Individualized Education Plans, students who are low achieving and for students who are high achieving. This can only be accomplished through a real and productive partnership with the parents and guardians of the learning community and through affiliations with community-based organizations. We are committed, as well, to the implementation of ongoing teacher training to support our efforts and beliefs.
