Church Street Elementary School is an elementary school serving White Plains, NY students in the White Plains School Distric

Church Street is committed to helping all children develop the intellectual, academic, and social skills that will prepare them to meet the challenges and demands of the 21st century. Dedicated staff sets high academic expectations while creating a safe and secure student-centered learning environment to foster respect of individual differences. Church Street School believes that a curriculum emphasizing science and technology affords our children the special opportunity to be self-motivated observers, interpreters, and problem solvers within their world.
While science and technology are at the core of instruction, teachers collaborate to develop thematic units of study emphasizing the connections between different content areas that help students develop the "big ideas" so important to concept development. Grade-specific units connect the areas of English Language Arts, mathematics, science and social studies and include many "hands-on" activities to make learning meaningful – as well as fun. Furthermore, our boys and girls are encouraged to do many types of writing-narrative, expository, persuasive – in an effort to assist them with becoming effective communicators.
