What makes PS 20

Six things you won’t find at every zoned school

IB World School Fully accredited for the Primary Years Programme in 2025. Inquiry-led learning across every subject, ages 3 to 12. French Dual Language Starts in Kindergarten, and your child does not need to speak a word of French to join. Green Arts Composting, planting and harvesting in our own garden since 2013 — grown and eaten by the children. Special Education Integrated and self-contained classes, a 504 process families can follow, and the Beyond Access workshops. A PROSE school One of 285 schools in the city given room by the UFT and NYCPS to redesign how the school day works. A PTA you're already in No dues and no sign-up. Every parent of an enrolled child is a member from the first day.

Every family is a PTA member

Most of us do one small thing.

There is no minimum. Some families come to one meeting a year; others run a committee. Both matter, and you can change your mind at any time.

The PTA pays for classroom supplies, Green Arts, after-school scholarships and the events that make the year feel like something — about $500 a year per child, raised entirely by families.
