1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am proud to say that I am a member of The Eubie Blake family. The Eubie Blake school has a dedicated team of educators and administrators that work hand in hand to provide social, emotional and academic support to help students achieve their highest potential. Throughout the school day, students are rigorously engaged in learning by engaging in discussions, asking questions, working in collaboration, and sharing their strategies. In addition to core subject areas, the students are rigorously taught and engaged computers, music and movement, and physical education. All students at PS 25 learn to Code using programming and with the fully equipped STEM lab, the upper grade students learn Robotics. The school provides a family oriented environment where every child is respected, appreciated, loved and welcomed. Students at The Eubie Blake school are eager to learn and share their ideas. The administration also provides many opportunities for the students to engage and encourage students to pursue their dreams by organizing Cool Men Read and Diva Darlings Day, Career Day, Multicultural Day, Spring Festivals and monthly assemblies. The school has an after school program and help all students to engage in extra curricular activities such as basketball, cheerleading, health and wellness programs. The administration is very supportive of the teachers and provides the educators with many professional development opportunities. Also, they encourage and provide guidance for educators to create new strategies to help their students. At The Eubie Blake School, it’s all about the students.Other Review6y ago - Ps 308 Clara Cardwell
