PS 9, The Sarah Anderson School is a public school teaching children in prekindergarten through fifth grade. Sarah “Peggy” Anderson, the original namesake, was a longtime, much-loved paraprofessional at the school. The school’s three-story building of white glazed brick displays touches of its 1965 era. The student population at the public school is about 518, with an average of one teacher for every 13 students.
Enrichment classes include Spanish, music, and fifth-grade clubs. These clubs offer students opportunities to perform hands-on jobs in school-based activities such as web design, tech team and kindness ambassadors. Science experiments introduce children in kindergarten and first grade to subjects and procedures they will become more familiar with in succeeding grades. The music program incorporates musical theater, movement, language and math while integrating Common Core academic concepts into the musical learning process.
After-school playground sports include kickball, baseball and soccer. The school also offers a fencing class for grades second to fifth, with personalized instruction by an expert.
