Who We Are

We are a K–5 learning community dedicated to educating the whole child and creating a strong foundation for lifelong success. We recognize that every student brings unique strengths, interests, experiences, and potential to our school community. Our work focuses not only on developing strong academic skills, but also on nurturing creativity, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, responsibility, and perseverance. We strive to create a safe, supportive, inclusive, and engaging environment where students feel valued, challenged, and empowered to grow. By combining rigorous academics with meaningful opportunities to develop essential life skills, we prepare our students to become confident learners, compassionate community members, and successful individuals who are ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future.

Every Day Counts

Every day at school matters! Watch how P.S. 41 students, families, and staff are working together to make attendance a priority, because when students show up every day, they learn, grow, and succeed.
