Mission
Strengthened by the diversity of our school community we believe that each child has the potential to meet high standards. With a deep commitment to the arts PS 295 strives to provide developmentally appropriate, standards based instruction through integrated teaching practices. Collaborative parent and community partnerships and an ongoing professional development program foster a love of learning, ensuring a sustainable future for all children.

Vision
PS 295 is a community that embraces diversity by nurturing strengths and talents to educate the whole child socially, academically, culturally and artistically through differentiation in all facets of learning. In recognizing that all children learn in different ways, we believe that an arts integrated curriculum cultivates a more meaningful discovery of self, enhances prior knowledge, supports content and language development and encourages a strong respect and appreciation for the arts. Strengthened by the commitment of our parent community, we value their participation and are dedicated to developing a strong partnership between home and school. Through collaboration and communication each member feels supported and encouraged to take risks, share ideas and become an active participant in their own learning. Our strong professional development program provides ongoing learning and leadership opportunities for all members, while offering students an exemplar for becoming lifelong learners and leaders of the future.
