JACKSON HEIGHTS SDA SCHOOL

SDA-affiliated or other Christian families who want a small, affordable elementary education in a diverse Queens neighborhood, and who value a tight-knit faith community over the broader programming of a larger school.

• One of the smallest private elementary schools in Queens — just 35 students spanning seven grades.
• A flat $5,000 tuition makes it among the most affordable private elementary options in NYC.
• Seventh-day Adventist Christian mission weaves academics, leadership development, and service into one unified program.
• A diversity index of 0.83 places the student body among the more demographically varied in the area.
• Three subway lines within a 7-minute walk — a commute advantage that's hard to beat in Queens.

• A student body of 35 across PK–5 means very small grade cohorts — typically just a handful of classmates per year.
• Only 2 FTE teachers serve all seven grades, so the model leans heavily on multi-age grouping and a tight community feel.
• Seventh-day Adventist families observe Saturday Sabbath and Adventist dietary and lifestyle practices — fit matters for non-SDA families.
• Parent review data is thin (2 parent reviews), so most of what's known comes from the school's own materials and federal survey data.
• The school's stated mission is clearly Seventh-day Adventist Christian, even though some databases list the religious affiliation as Islamic — worth confirming directly with the school.
