MS 363 The Academy for Personal Leadership and Excellence

Welcome to the 8th Grade House of Leadership. In the House of Leadership, we create leaders by empowering our students to become active learners through creativity and choice. We are committed to recognizing the importance of communication and encourage dialogue among all members of our school community. We take pride in promoting intellectual growth, social growth, and development within the school community. We strive to provide a safe and supportive setting so that students have the opportunity to explore their own beliefs and values. We teach our students to take risks, and to think and speak for themselves.

Our priority is to prepare and motivate our students for a rapidly changing world by instilling in them critical thinking skills, a global perspective, and a respect for core values of honesty, loyalty, perseverance, and compassion. Our staff is committed to educating the whole child, making sure our students are successful today and be prepared for a bright tomorrow.
