Thank you for your interest in PS1 Pluralistic School! We invite you to experience our school first-hand. Imagine your child’s elementary school years actively partnering with experts in elementary education with decades of experience centering on respecting and honoring children. Your child and family will feel the pull to show up authentically; it is not only expected but an essential part of the learning experience. This is the P in PS1 - Pluralism. Families often wonder, "What’s the secret to retaining a joyful learning experience and graduating confident, compassionate, and prepared students?" The answer is a tremendous amount of time, energy, resources, and intention dedicated to an excellent, ever-evolving teaching and learning program.
Consider parenting shoulder-to-shoulder with like-minded parents who seek to build community and continue a culture of empathy, kindness, and care. We invite you to explore what 53 years of alumni families’ efforts have done in shaping PS1 with a clear vision. Impact on children and determining a pluralistic path for each are central to all institutional decisions. We are continuously shaping each one’s intellectual and social-emotional development on their 7-year journey to become active citizens on and off campus–the One in PS1.
We seek families that align with the mission, who wish to take an active role in their child’s school and children who would thrive in this dynamic learning environment. We take pride in the inclusive, multi-generational community we have built since 1971.

PS1 knows that a great elementary education must develop the skills, tools and strong sense of self needed to soar in middle school and beyond.
So every day we build confidence, competence and joy in early learners, helping them approach this initial educational journey with exuberant, hands on energy.
With their academic experience fueled by these essential life skills, there’s no limit to the impact PS1 graduates have in their communities and on our world.
