Welcome Families and Students!
P.S. 516: Sunset Park Avenues Elementary School is a small public elementary school that opened in September 2013 in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn. We currently serve students in Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten,1st, 2nd and 3rd Grade. When we reach full scale, we will serve grades Pre-Kindergarten through Fifth Grade.
At Sunset Park Avenues, our entire community strives to ensure that all students experience an education that allows for each unique individual to thrive in a global community - academically, socially, and emotionally. Learning through a curriculum based in exploration and independent practice with the support of expert teachers, our students grow to be curious about their world, think creatively and flexibly about problems and solutions, and have the confidence and resilience to make things happen for themselves and their world.
We celebrate and integrate the multi-lingual and multi-cultural heritage of our students, families, and neighborhood into our classrooms, preparing our students to belong to and succeed in a global society.
