P.S. 21

Port Richmond, Staten Island

Located in the Port Richmond neighborhood, P.S. 21 is CFK’s first-ever partner school in Staten Island and signifies our growth to all five NYC boroughs. The school’s motto, “together, we make it happen” says it all—the collaborative environment of the school community is something you can’t miss. Principal Anthony Cosentino is joining forces with CFK to enhance P.S. 21’s STEM offerings and further support the school’s community engagement initiatives. We are delighted to be a part of the P.S. 21 community and help encourage students to dream bigger and achieve more!
