The Anderson School PS 334 is a K–8 New York City public school that uses traditional gifted pedagogy to teach students from the City’s five boroughs who meet specific criteria for being intellectually gifted.
Founded in September 1987 as The Anderson Program under the stewardship of PS 9, the New York City Department of Education (DOE) relaunched it in July 2005 as a stand-alone school — PS 334. Anderson's enrollment has been filled to capacity since inception, which for K through 8 (as of Feb. 10, 2010), was 559 students.
Since inception, Anderson has had two sections (classrooms) per grade. For the 2009-10 school year, the DOE admitted three sections for kindergarten and opened an additional section for 1st grade. But, to accommodate a new District elementary school launching in the 2010-11 school year (PS 452), the DOE, in that year, returned to admitting two sections per grade. For the 2012-13 school year, the building housed three schools:
-
- The Anderson School
- The Computer School (a District 3 middle school)
- PS 452 (a neighborhood catchment elementary school)

Famous quotes containing the words anderson and/or school:
“I defied nothing at all. I ignored the law because I didn’t know it existed. It didn’t occur to me that anyone would want to curb my inspiration.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
