On Tuesday, September 21, U.S. Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, announced that PS 310K, The School For Future Leaders, is being recognized as a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School! We are so proud and excited to be among the 325 schools nationwide this year, only 19 from New York State, to receive this very distinct honor. We know that our collaboration with our amazing families and community-based organizations helped to provide the students of PS 310 with a high quality of education that is now being acknowledged at the national level.

English Language Arts
The New York City Department of Education is dedicated to ensuring that all students are college- and career-ready. Teaching English Language Arts is vital to this goal, making students effective readers and writers under statewide educational standards. The Common Core Library and EngageNY give more information on New York schools’ transition to Common Core Learning Standards, which require students to ground reading, writing, and discussion in evidence from text. The Common Core encourages teachers to use a balance of complex fiction and non-fiction texts in the classroom.
Mathematics
The New York City Department of Education is dedicated to making all students college- and career-ready. Schools work toward this goal through teaching mathematics under the new statewide Common Core Learning Standards, which demand that students have solid conceptual understanding, a high degree of procedural skill and fluency, and the ability to apply the math they know to solve problems inside and outside the math classroom.
