PS 226

PS 226, located at 1950 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx, serves as a specialized educational facility within the New York City Department of Education. Unlike traditional neighborhood elementary schools, PS 226 is primarily recognized as a District 75 school. District 75 programs are designed to provide highly specialized instructional support and therapeutic services for students with significant cognitive, developmental, and physical disabilities, as well as those with emotional challenges, ranging from pre-kindergarten through the middle school years.

The school is dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment that prioritizes individualized education programs (IEPs) tailored to the specific learning and behavioral needs of each student. By offering smaller class sizes, a high ratio of support staff, and access to therapeutic services such as speech, occupational, and physical therapy, PS 226 aims to provide a structured and supportive atmosphere. Its curriculum is focused on developing both academic competencies and essential life skills, ensuring that students receive the specialized attention required to make meaningful progress toward their personal growth and educational goals.
