Afterschool @PS32
PS32 Offers After School in a variety of formats for students in grades Pre-K to 5. We do not offer After School for 3K.
What does After School look like?
PS 32 is proud to offer robust after-school options for families, including Good Shepherd Services, World Explorers, and ICN Chess Club.
Good Shepherd Services
Monday-Friday, Dismissal-5:30pm, K-5
Good Shepherd Services is one of the largest nonprofit youth and family services providers in New York City, operating over 90 programs that support more than 30,000 residents across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The program runs in partnership with funding and support by the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) and is open to all students in Kindergarten (who are at least 5 years old) through 5th grade at PS32.
About Enrollment to GSS
Applications open during the summer prior to the school year; spaces are filled on a first-come first-served basis, so we encourage all families to submit their applications as soon as possible to ensure the best chance of acceptance. Although there is no cost to enroll, we do ask that all families make a commitment to our minimum attendance policy of 2 days per week.

During Afterschool Adventures students explore the world from the oceans to outer space – and everything in between. The aim is to instill a love of exploration, adventure, and learning in each child. We also include time for snacks, homework if needed, group games/challenges, and free play in each day’s adventures.
World Explorers also offers specialty classes at PS 32 to all students that are taught by a combination of our fantastic PS 32 staff as well as neighborhood providers -- such as Amazing Athletes, Brooklyn Robot Foundry, Child's Play, Cinema Kidz, and Playday.

ICN Chess

From complete beginners to advancing tournament players, our goal is that all PS 32 players can experience both the joy & significant social/educational benefits of learning and playing chess. Our award-winning PS 32 Team (Top 10 in the nation!) will prepare for local, City, State & National Competitions.
Players are matched into groups based on skill, interest level & grade. This allows coaches to identify and create the right training environment for each player from complete beginner to advanced competitors and everyone in between.
