The mission of PS 249 is to provide a high engaging differentiated common core-aligned curriculum for all of their students, including ENLs and SWDs. Their students will engage in enrichment, intervention and prevention activities as they prepare them for college and careers by allowing them to use technology, read with a range of books, problem-solve, explore and investigate using critical thinking so that they can reach a high level of academic achievement and be exposed to real-world application.
