Visit our website and watch our official school video to learn about us at I.S.131. We strive to educate the whole child (academically, socially, and emotionally). Each year, students choose their Arts discipline to specialize in their talent of Visual Art, Dance, or Band. Our mission is to To provide all students with a college and career preparatory curriculum based on their unique individual academic and social-emotional needs. We believe that all students are capable of working on rigorous material and meeting high standards, even if they are currently behind grade level.IS 131 has been celebrated by the Chancellor's Office as being one of the top Middle Schools in New York City that celebrates and incorporates the Arts throughout its curriculum. I.S.131 has developed partnerships with Arts Organizations such as Arts Horizon, The Joyce Theater, Arts Matters, Broadway Jr., and Turnaround Arts. Our partnership with CEI has enabled our students to attend Broadway shows throughout the school year as well as created a Specialized High School Prep Program, Robotics, and the Arts Bench Project. IS 131 continues its association with Urban Advantage encouraging hands on experiences in Science using real world applications for students and families.
