About Us
MS 118 students arrive as 6th graders from different elementary schools, neighborhoods and family backgrounds. At MS 118, we value those differences and support students with the transition to middle school and all the changes that come with the pre-teen and early teen years. Three years later, those same students are ready for the challenges of high school, college and career because of the education and experiences they enjoyed while at MS 118.
We ensure our students’ academic and social development in the following ways:
rigorous academics
Rigorous academics with supports to ensure all students achieve.
partnerships

counseling
