History: The school opened in 1867 as Grammar School No. 41, originally a girls’ school near Greenwich Avenue and Charles Street. The New York Times described it as a “model of comfort and neatness” and “one of the finest school buildings in the city.” The 1867 Board of Education report praised it as “erected with great care” and “one of the most elegant and substantial School Houses yet erected.” In 1957, a new building designed by Michael L. Radoslovich replaced the old one.

Today: PS 41 serves students in grades 3-K through 5 from its neighborhood. In 2021 it was named a National Blue Ribbon School.
