About Us
PS/MS 123 Mahalia Jackson
Our school is located in the foothills of City College. Our experienced staff embrace each student as they enter our school. We make personal connections with our students and provide levels of academic
and social emotional preparedness.
In essence, we are preparing students to become independent, lifelong learners and productive citizens to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. We use individualized and flexible groupings to enhance learning experiences to meet each student’s academic needs.
The PS 123 community prides itself in being an institution of learning as well as a safe haven for our students.
EMPOWERING OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES
We engage students through a hands-on approach to learning. We believe all students are accelerated learners and need to explore their talents. We offer a comprehensive arts education so students can explore their talents, build confidence, self-esteem and develop their voice.
Our teachers are devoted to teaching our students and families. Families are welcomed and offered wellness, professional services, and academic support. We plan yearly calendar events to ensure that we involve our families in all aspects of learning.
