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 have always had something to live besides a personal life. And I suspected very early that to live merely in an experience of, in an expression of, in a positive delight in the human cliches could be no business of mine.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
