We support students through a comprehensive education, with a focus on the Fine Arts (Band, Chorus, and Visual). With a focus on academics, arts, social-emotional health, and extracurricular activities. A dedicated team of administrators, counselors, and deans moves with students from 6th through 8th grade, providing consistent support throughout their middle school experience. The well rounded child is supported through strong academics in our core subjects, a well developed visual, choral and instrumental arts and a robust extra curricular program. Parents have the option to enroll their children in South Asian Youth Action camp (SAYA!). This provides students the necessary after school support via social and emotional opportunities. Additionally, our experienced staff brings their talents to our students in a successful nurturing after school program. Additional partnerships include, Queens Art Festival, Midori & Friends and MSQI which supports our yearly city wide "top ranking" debate team. We emphasize the importance of college by being a partner with the DOE's College Access for All initiative. This program builds college-consciousness in our seventh grade students to support better decision making in grade eight through high school. As a result of our expanding Arts programs, our students are fortunate to showcase their talent at Queens College, as well as Carnegie Hall as participants of an honors band program. Our Visual Arts students have won the Queens Borough Arts Festival two years in a row, resulting in the winning pieces being displayed at the Queens Museum. Finally, through our school's participation in the Middle School Quality Initiative (MSQI), one of our eighth grade students had her work published in the MSQI journal.
