A Catholic elementary school (Pre-K through 5th grade) operated under the Brooklyn Diocese, this academy emphasizes moral and spiritual development alongside academic achievement. The school maintains smaller class sizes and a traditional classroom approach grounded in Catholic social teaching.

Jamaica Estates-Holliswood is one of Queens' most suburban-feeling neighborhoods — tree-lined streets, single-family homes, and a quieter, more residential character than much of the city. It's a family-friendly area with easy access to major roadways.
This is a car-dependent neighborhood. Most families will need to drive or arrange transportation; walking to school is feasible for nearby residents but not practical for most families coming from other parts of Queens.
