About this school
Zoned continuation school with K-8 service. Zoned entry does not always translate into an open middle-school seat for late movers.
K-8 school serving Hunters Point and Long Island City.
We focus on providing our students with a challenging and global education while meeting the emotional, creative, and social needs of all students. We focus on critical thinking and problem solving through interactive literacy and math activities, enhanced through an integration of the arts into the core curriculum. Parents are actively involved in their children's education and we share the joys of watching our children grow, learn new skills, and make friends. We implement the Renzulli Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) in all grades and include parent talent, community volunteers, and experts from the community in developing an enrichment curriculum. By addressing the needs of all students, including our students with special needs, English Language Learners, and gifted students, the SEM Model engages all of the children in visual, musical, spatial, and kinesthetic activities through their interests and talents thereby enabling them to enhance their academic potential.
