KATHLEEN GRIMM SCHOOL FOR LEADERSHIP is a public elementary school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT #31 school district, located in STATEN ISLAND, NY with about 215 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 2nd Grade. With about 19 teachers, KATHLEEN GRIMM SCHOOL FOR LEADERSHIP has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
The KATHLEEN GRIMM SCHOOL FOR LEADERSHIP and Sustainability (P.S. 62) is a pioneering educational institution located in Staten Island, New York. Opened in 2015, the school is nationally recognized as the first "net-zero energy" school in New York City, meaning it is designed to produce as much energy through renewable sources—such as solar panels and geothermal heating—as it consumes. Its architecture serves as a "living laboratory," where the building itself teaches students about environmental stewardship, energy efficiency, and the importance of sustainable living in an urban environment.
Beyond its innovative infrastructure, the school is deeply committed to fostering leadership and academic excellence among its elementary-aged students. The curriculum emphasizes inquiry-based learning, social-emotional development, and the cultivation of 21st-century skills. By integrating hands-on environmental education with a rigorous core curriculum, the Kathleen Grimm School aims to empower its diverse student body to become responsible, forward-thinking leaders who are prepared to address the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
