The
School of Math, Science, and Technology
Mission Statement |
| In the school year
199-2000, PS 19 developed their second
"School Within a School", The School of
Math, Science, and Technology. This
kindergarten through fifth grade academy
houses approximately 350 students on the
third floor of the main campus. The
mission of the MST School is to create an
intellectually enriched and stimulating
atmosphere that nurtures the skills of
in-depth inquiry, problem solving, and
scientific experimentation. This goal is
accomplished by promoting each child's
unique talents in a "School Within a School"
setting.
Through this innovative educational
model, students develop:
- Problem solving, critical
thinking, logic, and reasoning skills
- A sense of belonging to a
community of learners
- A love of exploration and
discovery
- An ability to embrace cultural
diversity while fostering an
understanding of differences
- Scientific attitudes of curiosity
and flexibility
- An ability to express thoughts
about math, science, and technology,
through the written communication
The PS 19 MST School is a place of
learning for everyone. It focuses on the
school as a community. The MST School
utilizes computers as a vehicle to integrate
math, science, and language arts for the
purpose of acquiring knowledge. Furthermore,
this unique program is designed to encourage
students to meet the New York City and New
York State Performance Standards. |
