41-54 MURRAY STREET

At a Glance

A Small Faith-Based Community Where Every Child Is Known by Name

Best suited for

Families seeking a small, faith-based elementary education with strong individual attention who live in or near eastern Queens and can manage transportation logistics. Particularly well-suited for parents who want their children to learn in a genuinely diverse community while receiving explicit Christian moral instruction — and who value the intimate scale of a 128-student school over the resources and options a larger institution might offer.

What stands out
  • Exceptional 9:1 student-teacher ratio — very few private schools in NYC offer this level of individual attention
  • Highly diverse student body (diversity index 0.86) with no single ethnic group comprising a majority
  • Explicit Christian faith integration through Assembly of God values for families seeking this
  • Tiny community of 128 students means genuine familiarity among families and staff
  • Serves pre-K through 5th grade, allowing children to grow up within the same school community
Things to consider
  • Religious affiliation is central to the school's identity — families should be comfortable with evangelical Christian values being taught
  • Transit access is poor — you'll need a car or be prepared for significant commute logistics
  • Small enrollment means limited extracurricular options compared to larger schools
  • As a private school, tuition applies — cost is a real factor
  • The neighborhood safety score (63/100) is moderate, not exceptional
IdentityRooted In Assembly Of God Tradition, The School Weaves Christian Values Into Its Academic Program, Emphasizing Character Development Alongside Traditional Subjects. Families Choosing This School Typically Want Explicit Faith Integration In Their Children'S Education And Appreciate The Moral Framework It Provides.

This is a small, faith-based elementary school with Assembly of God Christian affiliation serving pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The 9:1 student-teacher ratio creates a family-like atmosphere where children are known as individuals, not numbers.

CommunityDiverse

With 128 students across pre-K through 5th grade, this is a genuinely small community where parents often know most other families. The student body is remarkably diverse — a diversity index of 0.86 means children grow up learning alongside peers from different racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds, which many parents see as a real advantage.
