Overview
It is our vision to guide students in the development of their character and academic potential so they can become future teachers, leaders and dreamers. We provide rigorous, challenging, content-rich programs to prepare students for college and careers, in addition to developing their Social Emotional growth with ThinkCERCA, NewsELA, IXL, REthinked, i-Ready etc. Staff, parents and students effectively communicate and support our high academic and behavioral standards using Pupilpath, One Call Now, Remind and the web. I.S. 281 is a technology rich school, using laptops and smart boards in every classroom to engage and stimulate our students. We are a STEM school where our scholars are exposed to Robotics, Hydroponics, 3D printing, Flight Simulation, Engineering, Environmental projects and Carpentry. In addition, we have a Virtual Enterprise program cultivating future CEO's and entrepreneurs. Our Art programs flourish with students singing and dancing at high end venues such as the Prudential Center, Kings Theater, NYC Festivals and Parades. Student Art pieces are displayed at Washington Square Park, Prospect Park and the South Brooklyn Borough Center. Our athletic teams are City Champions. We believe in educating the whole child!
