P.S. 186Q, The Castlewood School, provides an environment in which students, parents and school staff can work together to maximize their intellectual, emotional and social potential. Our goal for all Castlewood students is to develop their love of learning and to encourage their ability to succeed as contributing citizens in our society. Each child will develop the ability to: *Recognize his/her value as a participating member of any group they join in today's society. *Recognize the value and worth of all people. *Work together with other members of the community. *Solve problems and think critically. *Communicate effectively.
