Marine Park Day School (Closed 2006)

1972 E 34th Street
Brooklyn, NY 11234
Marine Park Day School is a diverse, independent K-6 school with a 35 year history of progressive education.
We believe a successful learner is one who is confident, caring, and creative.
We believe success is measured by a student's ability to define his or her place in the world, guided by intellectual skills and a social perspective.
Our commitment to an education for character has made MPDS unique and a model for others.
We are proud of our history, the quality and breadth of our educational programs, and, most importantly, of the articulate, self-confident, and responsible citizens our students become.
Marine Park Day School seeks to inspire a passion for learning through a progressive approach to education that values intellectual pursuit and critical thinking, creative expression, self-discovery and a commitment to social justice.
Parents praise our child-centered approach as much as they applaud our strong curriculum in math, social studies, language arts, Spanish, science and sports.
Families love Marine Park's emphasis on the visual and performing arts, which are an exceptionally strong part of our 7-8 program.
