Overview Paragraph

Located a block away from the Queens Botanical Garden, this school prepares students for college and careers. Our four pillars are Honor, Excellence, Curiosity, and Celebration. Students take Regents, Advanced Placement (AP), and CUNY College Now courses. Our students become proficient in Chinese, Korean, or Japanese. We offer many after-school clubs and an active student government. We encourage acts of kindness through a nationwide anti-bullying program. We cultivate parent partnerships through monthly PTA meetings on evenings or weekends. Grades, transcripts, and progress reports are readily available to parents online through PupilPath. All seniors attend daily college preparatory courses, and can take onsite Kaplan SAT prep courses.
