Ps Is 155 Nicholas Herkimer

Our son is currently in 3K at PS 137, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The teachers are incredibly kind and attentive—especially Miss T, who has made such a positive impact in our experience there in 3K. Smallclass sizes are the best environment for kids and doesn’t feel like an overcrowded public school pushing enrollment. The PTA is very active, bringing in enriching programs like pasta making classes / activities to kids in class. The dance teacher, Ms. Davis, is amazing, and our son absolutely loves her class. The plus is, that as an LGBTQ family, we’ve felt genuinely welcomed and supported by the community. We plan on staying there throughout elementary as all the teachers seem fantastic. We couldn’t recommend PS 137 more—it truly feels like Brooklyn’s best kept secret.

The reviews on this sight need to be updated. This is a great school!

As a proud parent of two children enrolled here, I can confidently say this school is a blessing. The small class sizes have made a world of difference—my children are not just numbers; they are known, supported, and celebrated.The teachers are deeply committed and truly care about each student’s growth. My son has been valedictorian every year, a reflection of both his hard work and the school’s dedication to academic excellence. My younger child, now in 2nd grade, is already a published author—something I never imagined at this age!This Christian school doesn’t just mention faith—it lives it. The children are taught to pray, lead with character, and aim for excellence in everything they do. There’s a culture of achievement here that empowers students to believe in their potential.The commitment of the faculty is evident—many teachers have been here for years, building strong foundations and lasting relationships. I also appreciate the forward-thinking programs like the tech club and STEM initiatives, which are preparing our kids for the future while grounding them in faith and values.I’m incredibly grateful for this school. It’s more than an academic institution—it’s a nurturing, purpose-driven community where children thrive.

We were very comfortable having our children in our childcare facility. Until the time came when they had to move on. The task of finding a nurturing and academically stimulating environment started. Whenever we saw a family with children in uniform, we would inquire of them about the school their child attends. I received more than 5 referrals from different families in the neighborhood. We then decided to make that call and go for a tour. I must say it's the best decision we made to trust Julia Nicholson, Ms. Kim, and the staff with our children. Our children had so much exposure to real-life experiences and exposure, trips, academic enrichment, values, and more. The director and staff go beyond the call of duty to ensure our children are provided with quality education. Our children with the help of People's Elementary School are great individuals. It takes a village to prepare our children for life. As a result, People's Elementary School became our feeder school. Thanks to you past and present faculty of this great school. We appreciate you.
