Professor Juan Bosch School (PS 178) Is a lovely, modern and progressive school. They offer Dual language, ICT, NEST and Monolingual programs. PS 178 works to meet the child where they are, by creating a supportive and collaborative environment. It was built as a K-2 school, despite expanding to 5th grade it still has the small and warm feeling. It is very much like a family, where every child is known by their name. Parents are as welcome as the children! Close Quote
