Welcome to MS447, The Exploratory School, and to the 2024-2025 school year. Celebrating diversity, acceptance, and cultural heritage is important because in doing so we provide a dedicated time to educate people about the histories and contributions of diverse groups; promoting understanding, inclusion, and appreciation for different cultures and all humans. This helps us learn about and value the rich tapestry of identities within our community at 447. We also acknowledge that celebration, learning, acceptance, and awareness must extend beyond designated months and specific events to permeate our culture and community. This is ongoing work. Please complete the form linked above to indicate your willingness and availability in bringing authentic connection depth of learning, and individual and institutional growth into our MS447 community. Thanks as always for your continued involvement!
