About
PS84 is a vibrant neighborhood school with a diverse community, fostering a rich arts and cultural experience. With six Pre-K, one 3-K, and five Kindergarten classes, we offer Spanish and French Dual Language programs, alongside Computer Sciences and Media Arts. Our school hosts the longest-running Spanish Dual Language Program and the sole French Dual Language Program in Manhattan, nurturing global citizens. Recently approved for International Baccalaureate candidacy, we emphasize inquiry-based transdisciplinary learning. We uphold rigorous standards, nurturing individuality while fostering collaboration and lifelong learning in arts, academics, and technology. Multiculturalism, Music, and Art are integral to our curriculum, cultivating respect and curiosity for diverse cultures.
We believe all students can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
Our Mission
The Lillian Weber School is dedicated to fostering equity and access for all learners within a collaborative community. We empower our students with the tools they need to develop critical thinking skills, a strong work ethic, and a sense of identity and responsibility. By emphasizing teamwork and respect for diverse cultures, we encourage our students to engage with one another and explore the complexities of our world together. At PS 84, our community cultivates curiosity and interconnectedness, nurturing a shared commitment to creativity and collective growth as we learn about and care for the planet we all share as global citizens.
Our Vision
PS84 responds to the challenge of integrating three strong academic programs: Spanish Dual Language Immersion, French Dual Language Immersion, and Computer Science/Media Arts. Staff, students, and parents work collaboratively so that children leave us as a strong cohort of life-long learners and global citizens of the world. We at PS84 hold high expectations for all students. Our approach to education is rigorous and demanding while keeping in close focus each child's individuality and self-esteem.
