Academics
From three years old to thirteen, in one building
A child can start at P.S. 3 in 3-K and leave from eighth grade having already banked high school credit.
What our children leave with
High school credit before high school
Nearly two in three of our eighth-graders leave here having already earned high school credit. Citywide, the figure is one in three.
Algebra for Regents credit
Algebra is offered to eighth-graders for Regents credit, before a student has set foot in a high school.
Experienced teachers
84% of our teachers have three or more years in the classroom, a little above the citywide figure of 81%.

- Kindergarten – Grade 5
- The elementary years, when children first take on jobs in the school's MicroSociety.
- Grades 6 – 8
- Middle school in the same building, with no move and no new start. Our own fifth-graders continue straight through.
