A Tiny Private School Where Every Child Gets Personal Attention
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.
- 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
- 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
A nonsectarian private school with just 64 students total — this is intimate by design. The tiny scale means minimal bureaucracy and maximum individual attention.
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.
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.
