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 strives to provide equity and access for all learners. We give our students the necessary tools to develop critical thinking skills, a strong work ethic, and the sense of identity and responsibility that are crucial to creativity and independence in their quest for learning. PS 84 offers students a deep and complex understanding of the world, and teaches them to be respectful and curious about diverse cultures and the planet we share.
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.
