PS 413 in Bay Ridge
Marina G. shared pictures of the new school, PS 413. The box-style building doesn’t have a lot of style.
The building’s design looks a lot nicer in drawings and on the flyer. If it was tan like the drawing, it would look nicer.
I think the blue around the windows is making it look strange.
The new school was named and renamed this year. It was The School of International World Studies and now it’s the Joanne Seminara School of Law and Medicine.
At January’s Community Board 10 Meeting, parents expressed how disappointed they were that the new school didn’t have any of the programs they wanted. (See here)
A strong PTA and active parents will improve this school.
