This National Blue Ribbon Award school is a gem in NYC public education system. It is a small school with warm culture where families are warm and involved. The school uses Singapore Math curriculum, with sufficient learning support for students with their own pace. Teachers are loving and energetic. Parents receive daily messages through Apps or text for school trips, events, math exam reminder and activity photos. Principal has a real open door policy. The school have specialty classes of chess and Robotics to all the students. The music program here is out of the world, as the principal was from Special Music School. Students from elite private, G&T, charter and zoned schools have been transferring here with a waiting list. There are field trips almost every month to museums, central park, etc. PTA is doing a great job fund raising and spending it wisely.

We have absolutely loved PS150! We find it more warm and personal than PS234, which is also a solid choice. Both of our teachers have been amazing and the family community is very friendly. We love the Singapore math curriculum but also the balanced approach to homework for younger children (there are regular assignments so they engage with the material, but not so many hours of it that they don't have time to play in the park or go for other activities). 5 stars!
