At a Glance

A Tiny Private School Where Every Child Gets Personal Attention

Best suited for

Families seeking an intimate, highly personalized education with genuine diversity — ideal for children who benefit from close teacher relationships and a small-community feel. Particularly well-suited for families who value socioeconomic and racial diversity in their child's peer group, which is uncommon among NYC private schools.

What stands out
  • Extremely small size (64 students total) — truly intimate community
  • 4.9:1 student-teacher ratio — among the lowest in NYC private schools
  • Exceptional diversity (0.85 diversity index) — rare for private schools which often skew homogeneous
  • Serves pre-K through 5th grade in one building — siblings stay together
Things to consider
  • Very small enrollment means limited extracurricular options and no athletics
  • Small size may not suit children who thrive in larger peer groups
  • As a private school, tuition applies — contact school directly for current rates
  • Limited information available about advanced academic programs or specialized curricula
  • NYC DOE quality metrics don't apply to private schools
IdentityThe School Operates On A Progressive, Child-Centered Philosophy. With A 4.9:1 Student-Teacher Ratio, Instruction Can Be Tailored To Each Student'S Pace And Learning Style — Something Larger Schools Simply Cannot Match.

A nonsectarian private school with just 64 students total — this is intimate by design. The tiny scale means minimal bureaucracy and maximum individual attention.

CommunityDiverse

This school stands out for its extraordinary diversity. With a diversity index of 0.85, the student body is roughly 40% Black, 40% Hispanic, and 10% Asian, with smaller representation from other backgrounds. This mirrors the surrounding Woodside neighborhood, which is predominantly working-class and immigrant.

NeighborhoodWoodside

Woodside is a laid-back Queens neighborhood with a strong Irish and immigrant presence. It offers more affordable housing options than Manhattan or Brooklyn, with a suburban-feel despite being well-connected to Manhattan via the 7 train. The area has a community-oriented vibe with local shops, bakeries, and restaurants.

The school is accessible via the 7 train (52nd Street station) and several bus lines. Families driving will find street parking easier than in Manhattan or north Brooklyn.
