Our Mission

At PS/MS 200: The Magnet School of Global Studies & Leadership, students graduate with a profound appreciation for diversity, an understanding of the challenges facing people around the world, and the skills that will enable them to effect change in the 21st century. 

Through an emphasis on global competence and geographic literacy, our students learn to be innovators and leaders in the world community. They use multimedia and computer technology as tools to gather, organize, analyze, and create digital content and as platforms to communicate with students and families across the globe. 

Our school integrates global studies and leadership seamlessly into the core subjects, and students in our upper grades are also able to pursue "Enrichment Courses" through the School-wide Enrichment Model. Teachers, staff developers, and school leaders work together to create a 3K-8 Scope & Sequence for Global Studies and Leadership that incorporates the NYC Scope & Sequences for Science and Social Studies. 

The overarching goals of our Magnet program are to promote acceptance and diversity, to create learning opportunities that engage students in problem solving at the global level, and to produce future leaders who want to make a difference. Our school challenges students to consider the important question: How can I become a leader in today’s world?
