In Burns Avenue School, students are encouraged to take an active role in acquiring the wide range of skills that are introduced on each Grade level. Emphasis is placed upon learning through hands-on experiences and interdisciplinary activities which link the curriculum areas and provide students with an in-depth understanding of our community and the world. Computer technology is also an integral part of our instructional program and staff members make use of a variety of programs to reinforce concepts and teach students how to utilize technology in their pursuit of excellence.

Our diverse student population also has the opportunity of using numerous resources to develop their reading and writing skills and a great deal of emphasis is placed upon the application of skills to situations that require problem solving and critical thinking. Enrichment programs such as Great Books, Math Olympiads, Chorus, Band, and Orchestra are also offered to our students.

The Burns Avenue PTA is also dedicated to supporting the educational program in our school. Each year, they provide Cultural Arts programs for the children and coordinate evening activities to enrich our students’ lives and involve parents in the school.

Burns Avenue School serves approximately two hundred seventy students in Kindergarten through Grade Five. We have been proudly educating Hicksville students since 1953 and we take great pride in their many accomplishments.
