"At Sunset Yards Elementary School (SYES), we ignite curiosity, foster care, build persistence, and inspire passion in our students. We prepare students to make a positive impact on society and develop a lifelong love of learning. We celebrate the rich diversity of Sunset Park, Brooklyn and neighboring communities because we know that diverse perspectives drive innovation and creativity.

Our Sunset Yards community honors the principle of Ubuntu: “I am, because we are.” This spirit of unity and collaboration extends to our families, faculty, and staff, creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging. Sunset Yards is a place where all children are treated as capable leaders. We empower students to take charge of their educational journeys, fostering independence and self-advocacy.

We value strong, open communication with families and work together to support each child’s growth."
