Welcome to PS 166Q!
We use the natural curiosity of children to teach academic and critical thinking skills. With a gifted teaching staff, small classes and varied instruction, PS 166Q takes a whole child approach to elementary education. We work together to meet the intellectual, social and emotional needs of each and every one of our children.
Our mission is for all children to reach their full potential and develop a lifelong love of learning.
