Social-emotional Learning

At PS 84 we believe in the importance of developing skills that—while not measured by tests—round out students' education and impact their overall success, self-esteem, relationships, as well as civic and community engagement. 

Social-emotional learning provides children with the tools to understand and manage emotions, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and build responsible decision-making skills. 

Leader in Me

The Leader in Me program teaches leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader.
