About Us
Our Mission
P.S. 18X United Community School serves as a hub of resources for our students, their families, and the school community. The resources provided by our school help to enrich the lives of all members of our community through new opportunities and experiences that further the development and academic success of our students.
Our Vision
Our dream is to see our whole school community work together towards our students' social, emotional, and academic development and success now and in the future. We hope to see our students success and achieve as citizens of the world who can give back to their communities. We also hope to see our families participate in our school community and benefit from programs and services. Finally, our dream is that our community is a safe and welcoming space to live in that has many opportunities for our families to take advantage of.
Our Values
All members of our United Community School will conduct themselves with integrity, act with compassion, and pursue learning for themselves and others.
What is a United Community School?
The reality of smarter, happier, healthier students is within our grasp
United Community Schools works to improve student achievement by addressing the educational, emotional, social and health issues that can stand in the way of learning. In schools across New York City, we’ve demonstrated how this can happen by connecting the entire school to the community.
