A Message from Our Principal

Welcome to our learning community! Our warm and nurturing environement supports curious learners as they become critical thinkers, lifelong learners, and well-rounded citizens with character and integrity. Our goal is to ensure that each student receives a strong and comprehensive education. Our compassionate staff is committed to offering rigorous instructional programs that will help our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Through project-based learning, our students develop the necessary skill sets to ensure that they will have a positive impact on our world.


Our school is a small learning community from pre-kindergarten to grade 5. As a result, our teachers and staff have a deep understanding of our students. We support our students by teaching the needs of each student. Teachers work collaborately to make data-driven decisions and provide challenging instruction to our students.


It is a privilege to serve as principal of P.S. 245 Magnet School of Arts and Science. I invite you to become part of our wonderful family as we work in partnership to educate our children to be future citizens of the world.


Proud Principal, Erica N. Kelly
