Curriculum Overview
At P.S. 169 Sunset Park School, we pay close attention to each of our students and offer programs that cater to a diverse population in personalized ways. Find an overview of our programs below.
We teach students to learn math by doing math. Instead of memorizing procedures, students solve meaningful problems, explain their thinking, and collaborate with each other. Our model invites K-5 students to listen to each other’s ideas and explore problems together.

We use an evidence-based approach to reading instruction that teaches the skills students need to read. Students learn reading, writing, and discussion skills to gain topic knowledge from the texts.
