PS 151 Yorkville Community School

Yorkville Community School is a new neighborhood elementary school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. We opened our doors in 2009 with four kindergarten classes, adding a new grade each year and eventually becoming a K-5 school. Our school is located in a neighborhood that is rich with cultural institutions, parks, historic landmarks, family run businesses and community based organizations. The school has developed relationships with these organizations and community businesses in order to meet the needs of our students. Each unit of study has integrated these neighborhood sites providing our students with authentic learning experiences, in and outside the classroom.
