Theme:
PS 64Q is proud to be part of the NYCDOE Inter-District Federal Magnet Schools Assistance Program. We are the Magnet School of Leadership and Social Justice Activism. This funding will help us create more hands-on learning opportunities for our students, allowing them to learn important skills by addressing real-life issues in their community.
What are Magnet Schools?
Magnet Schools are public schools that offer families a choice. They are creative and open to students from any neighborhood. Each Magnet School has a special theme that makes it unique. A Magnet education includes special courses and activities that connect to this theme, focusing on excellence in school and the community. These schools attract students from different backgrounds who want a specialized learning experience.
What does Magnet education offer?
Magnet Schools in New York City receive extra funding from the federal government, allowing them to offer innovative programs and themed curricula. They encourage family and community involvement. This funding helps with school trips, supplies, partnerships, special programs, and professional training for teachers and workshops for parents. Magnet Schools provide challenging lessons that engage and inspire students. They use project-based learning to connect education with real-world experiences. A Magnet Education also supports the social, emotional, and mental well-being of students, preparing them to be lifelong learners and future leaders.
