ST STANISLAUS KOSTKA CATHOLIC ACADE

61-17 GRAND AVENUE

At a Glance

A small Catholic elementary school where faith meets hands-on learning in a tight-knit Maspeth community

Best suited for

Families who want a faith-based elementary education with strong academics and creative programs, need before/after school care, and are looking for an affordable private school option in a residential Queens neighborhood — particularly those who value a small, community feel over prestige or name recognition.

What stands out
  • STREAM Lab integrates religion with STEM and arts — unusual depth for an elementary school
  • Performing Arts Players gives kids actual stage time, not just music class
  • Before and After School Programs included — rare to see this explicitly offered
  • Tuition under $7,000 makes it one of the more affordable private options in Queens
  • 5-star parent reviews citing small class sizes and engaged teachers
Things to consider
  • Catholic identity means religious instruction is part of the daily experience — families should be comfortable with faith-based education
  • No published diversity data makes it harder to gauge the student body makeup
  • Only serves through 5th grade — families will need to plan for middle school transition
  • Maspeth is relatively residential and quiet; families wanting a more urban or transit-hub neighborhood may find it feels isolated
IdentityCatholic Values Emphasizing Academic Excellence, Spiritual Development, Social Growth, Diversity, And Life-Long Learning In A Child-Centered Nurturing Environment

A Catholic elementary academy serving pre-K through 5th grade, rooted in parish tradition but forward-thinking in its academic approach. Small by design, with a stated commitment to treating each child as an individual.
