Overview Paragraph

Queens High School of Teaching, Liberal Arts and the Sciences is an ideal place for students who seek the skills to be college and career-ready. Our students are programmed into one of three small learning communities where they are known well by peers and teachers.

We also have extensive community partnerships that enrich our school program.
