I.S 96 prides itself on creating a welcoming environment for all students. Our vision of "Parents as partners, students as individuals" is something that we live by. Each student that walks through our doors is treated as a unique learner. We create an equitable environment for all learners by differentiating the core curriculum and incorporating different cultures, languages, and perspectives. We offer all students access to specialized classes including the Living Environment and Algebra Regents. Students can choose a specialty class and follow their passion. Some of our highlighted specialties include Zoology, Robotics/Aviation, and Musical Theater. In addition, we offer after school programs including Chess, Debate Club, Broadway Jr., and athletic teams such as Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, and Track. At Seth Low, we are also proud of our focus on Social Emotional Learning. We believe in the importance of educating the whole child and provide students with an advisory program throughout their years here. The advisory program offers a space for students to set and achieve goals, and a non-academic space to express and develop their best selves.
