P.S. 72 seeks to maintain an educational environment in which the entire school community works to ensure that all students are provided with the skills to become lifelong learners. We emphasize school and home partnerships that foster children's cognitive, emotional and social growth. Through a standards-driven instructional program, we will engage all students and assist them in achieving high standards of competence. We will achieve our goals through a spirit of shared decision-making and communal responsibility
