We have 21 teachers, three paraprofessionals and we share a SBST Team with PS 19. Our students live primarily in the Lower East Side and went mostly to neighborhood elementary schools.

We are a school where education is a collaborative process.  Our teachers, administrators, students and their families work together to provide a rich, rigorous and well rounded educational experience.  We are a complete community.  We value our diversity and recognize the beauty and worth of our respective represented cultures in order to learn about the greater world and prepare our students to take the reins of the future.  We emphasize a safe community, with warm classrooms, where students can take emotional, social and academic risks in order to explore self expression and yet still contribute to the greater social good.  Our students will leave TASS with the self confidence and the academic and social skills to become productive and positive members of society.
