FLUSHING CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

41-54 MURRAY STREET

At a Glance

A small, faith-rooted elementary school weaving biblical worldview into a tight-knit, remarkably diverse community.

Best suited for

Christian households — particularly those connected to evangelical or Pentecostal traditions — who want a small, family-feel elementary school with strong academics and a genuinely diverse student body in Queens.

What stands out

  • A 9:1 student-teacher ratio across just 128 students means genuine individual attention, not a marketing line.
  • Triple-accredited through the New York State Board of Regents, Middle States Association, and Association of Christian Schools International — a meaningful signal of accountability for a school this size.
  • Truly diverse student body that mirrors Flushing's multicultural reality, unusual for a small faith-based elementary school.
  • ESL support built into the program, welcoming families for whom English isn't yet fluent at home.
  • Spanish instruction starts in grade 1, giving early exposure to a second language.

Things to consider

  • Total enrollment of 128 means a small peer pool — your child will know every classmate, for better or worse.
  • An Assembly of God identity means families should expect a specific evangelical Protestant framework; this isn't a generic "Christian school."
  • The nearest subway (Flushing-Main St on the 7) is a 19-minute walk, which makes the commute car- or bus-dependent for most families.
  • Rolling admissions offer flexibility, but also mean spots can fill at any time — earlier is better.

Identity

Religious

An Assembly of God elementary school committed to a distinct Christian worldview, with biblical teaching integrated across the academic day. Coeducational and serving the early years, it partners with families who want faith formation to be central, not peripheral, to their child's education.

Community

Very Diverse

With 128 students and a 0.86 diversity index, the community reflects the true multicultural fabric of Flushing — roughly 39% Asian, 28% Hispanic, 18% Black, and 12% White. It's a remarkably diverse student body for a small religious school, and one that gives kids daily exposure to many backgrounds.

Neighborhood

Murray Hill-Broadway Flushing

The school sits in Murray Hill-Broadway Flushing, a working- and middle-class Queens neighborhood where median household income sits around $69,000 and about 16% of residents live below the poverty line. Just over 31% of adults here hold a bachelor's degree or higher, reflecting the area's mix of long-time residents and recent immigrant families.

The Flushing-Main St station on the 7 train is the closest subway, and it's about a 19-minute walk — plan on driving, busing, or a longer stroll for the commute.
