P.S. 64 Robert Simon

P.S. 64 Robert Simon in the East Village is a neighborhood school serving grades Pre-K through 5. This school shares the building with the Earth School and Tompkins Square Middle School.

This school prepares students well to progress to the next grade and helps them improve their test scores, as compared to other schools with similar students. The Pre-K has lots of activities for children to explore art, nature, music, dramatic play and more, which are meant to develop a range of skills and promote a child's acceptance of diversity. Teachers ask children questions, invite back-and-forth conversation to develop language skills, and promote mutual respect and positive social interactions. Children are encouraged to communicate and learn language skills through books, puppets or blocks. The principal has been leading this school since 2007.

This school prioritizes children who live in District 1, but anyone is welcome to apply. Type your address into our school search to see if your child has priority. For more information about school enrollment and advice on how to find a program, please visit our New to NYC page.
