2.
Choice and Commitment
Students, their parents, and the staff of PS7
choose to participate in the program. No one
is assigned or forced to attend. Everyone must
make and uphold a commitment to the school and
to each other to put in the time and effort
required to achieve success.
3.
More Time
PS7 knows that there are no shortcuts when it
comes to success in academics and life. With
an extended school day, week, and year, students
have more time in the classroom to acquire the
academic knowledge and skills that prepare them
for competitive colleges, as well as more opportunities
to engage in diverse extracurricular experiences.
4.
Focus on Results
PS7 focuses relentlessly on high student performance
through standardized tests and other objective
measures. Just as there are no shortcuts, there
are not exceptions. Students are expected to
achieve a level of academic performance that
will enable them to succeed in the nation's
best colleges and the world beyond.
5.
Power to Lead
PS7 strongly believes the measure of a person's
success is in what he or she give to others.
Through community service, students develop
a strong sense of civic responsibility and establish
the foundation for a lifetime of meaningful
community involvement. Students also deepen
and demonstrate their learning, are empowered
to become leaders, and benefit the community
in which they live.
