Our Mission

We are building a school where all of our students are able to problem solve and think critically through high quality instruction across all content areas.

Our Vision

To provide access to an equitable education that fosters independence, problem solving, critical thinking, and student voice. All students will be proficient or exceed proficiency in Reading, Writing, and Math before they leave PS 398.
