Admissions
Thank you for considering PS1 Pluralistic School for your family. Choosing the right elementary school is an important decision and we're here to help you explore whether PS1 is the right fit.
At PS1, your child’s educational journey is rooted in respect, authenticity, and joyful learning. Our expert faculty design meaningful learning experiences that honor the unique voice, strengths, and path of each child. This is the "P" in PS1 Pluralism.
We’ve spent over 50 years building a program that balances intellectual challenge with social-emotional growth. Students emerge from PS1 as confident, compassionate, and capable individuals ready to thrive in middle school and beyond.

Admissions directors from middle schools will tell you that a PS1 child is so lit up about learning. They’re confident in themselves, they’re kind, they communicate well with both adults and their peers, and they have a genuine love of learning and curiosity that will fuel them for the rest of their life.T.L. Alumni Parent

More than a School; A Community
PS1 families parent side-by-side with a diverse, like-minded community grounded in empathy, inclusion, and connection. Since 1971, alumni and parents have shaped a school culture that values collaboration, kindness, and purpose.
Each child takes a seven-year journey through our elementary program - growing not only as a learner but as an active citizen, both on campus and in the community.
