Ps/Is 187 Hudson Cliffs

PS/IS 187 Hudson Cliffs emphasizes nurturing diverse learners while encouraging them to challenge themselves academically. The school prioritizes critical thinking and aims to develop students who actively participate in their community.

PS/IS 187 Hudson Cliffs directs elementary (kindergarten) applicants to apply through NYC DOE’s MySchools; the school’s site lists 2025–2026 kindergarten dates as: application opens December 10, 2024; closes January 24, 2025; offers released April 2, 2025; and offers due May 2. The stated kindergarten eligibility is children born in 2020 (for fall 2025), and families can apply online via MySchools or get help via the DOE Enrollment Office by phone (718-935-2009), email (ESEnrollment@schools.nyc.gov), or at a Family Welcome Center. The site notes that if a family doesn’t receive a top choice, they can add their child to program waitlists in MySchools. For intermediate school (grades 6–8), admissions are listed as “Open” (random selection) for District 6 students and residents, with priority groups in this order: (1) continuing students, (2) residents of the middle school zone, then (3) other District 6 students and residents. To apply/learn more for middle school, families are told to contact the school counselor at their child’s current school (or email the school if the child already attends 187), and they can register for a middle school tour via the provided form.
