Passport to Social Studies is the NYC DOE’s inquiry-based curriculum that helps students explore history, geography, economics, and civics through engaging lessons. It encourages critical thinking and analysis of diverse perspectives using primary sources, maps, and artifacts. The program fosters empathy and social-emotional learning while developing research, writing, and discussion skills. Through this approach, students build an understanding of their community, the broader world, and their role as informed citizens.

English as a Second Language (ESL) and English as a New Language (ENL) Program Our school is proud to offer ESL and ENL programs to support multilingual learners in building their English language skills. These programs are designed to meet the diverse needs of students whose home language is not English, helping them succeed both academically and socially. Through small group instruction and integrated classroom support, students develop proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We also celebrate cultural diversity, fostering an inclusive environment where every child feels welcome and valued. Our dedicated teachers work closely with families to ensure students are supported at home and school, creating a smooth transition into the new learning environment.
