About Us
We are a school community that shares the common vision that all children are capable of learning at very high levels provided they are given the time and the expert instruction necessary to do so. As such, PS 172 has done a great deal to align the organizational and academic structures in our school to maximize our students' success and to inspire our students.
At P.S. 172 Beacon School of Excellence, we are dedicated to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment that prepares our students for success. Our mission is to empower each child to become a lifelong learner and responsible global citizen, equipped with the essential skills needed to navigate an ever-changing world.
Through our core values of achievement, equity, respect, collaboration and kindness, we inspire our students to become confident, compassionate, and responsible individuals who will positively impact their communities and shape a better future for all.
