About the Application Process
NYC families can apply online to New York City Public Schools from 3K to high school.
Get started by creating an account on the NYC MySchools website. Then explore your children’s personalized school options and get guidance on the admissions process from start to finish.
When you apply, you can find PS 10 Brooklyn in one of two ways:
- Enter your residential address and if you are already zoned for our school, it will appear at the top of your list of available choices.
- If you live in a different area and are zoned for another school, you can search for our school code 15K010.
- New families can check their zone using the “Find a School” search tool on the home page on the Department of Education’s website: schools.nyc.gov.. If you are zoned for PS 10 with students in Grades 1–5, you can contact the school at (718) 965-1190 for assistance to register.
Please go to the DOE website’s Enrollment page to learn more about Pre-K, K and Grade 1-5 admissions.
