P.S. 75 has two dedicated science labs (one for grades K-2, one for grades 3-5) and grades 1-5 receive twice-weekly science instruction. Our curriculum prepares children to ask scientific questions, through an inquiry-based, hands-on exploration of the life, physical and earth sciences.  

P.S. 75 uses Passport for Social Studies curriculum. Each grade explores a social studies theme, which is integrated with the reading, writing, art and music curricula. Study of the neighborhood and city, for example, includes walking tours and interviews with local shopkeepers. Grades 3 -5 participate in the Curriculum Arts Project (CAP) provided by Symphony Space. 

Our school has two full-time physical education teachers, a large gym, and two separate outdoor playgrounds that offer safe, age-appropriate equipment and athletic activities. Children participate in physical education two times per week. Classroom teachers also have been trained in the “Move to Improve” program. This program recognizes that movement is good for the mind, and teachers are encouraged to give their children “fitness breaks” throughout the day in the classroom. 

PS 75 is proud to have a robust library program headed by a certified Library Media Specialist. Our library has over 12,000 books, including a large Spanish section. Our librarian, Mr. Oli, regularly orders new books to ensure students have the most up-to-date and high-interest books to keep them engaged in reading. Every class at PS 75 has a designated library class time, generally once every other week, throughout the entire school year. 

We have Open Access periods every morning and some afternoons where students are welcome to come into the library to return and borrow books outside of their usual library class time. We also host a bi-monthly Family Open Access time where families can create their own PS 75 library account and borrow more books to read with their children at home. Our mission is that the PS 75 Library is a safe space for all to explore, create, and grow.
