A small, faith-rooted elementary school in Hollis where intimate class sizes meet Church of God values
Families seeking a small, faith-based elementary school in Queens who value intimate class sizes and are comfortable with a culturally homogeneous peer group. Particularly well-suited for families who prioritize strong teacher-student relationships and want their children in a stable, contained community through the early grades. Families looking for diverse classrooms or progressive secular education should look elsewhere.
- Exceptional student-teacher ratio (under 10:1) — this is genuinely small and personal
- Pre-K through 5th grade under one roof — siblings can stay together through elementary years
- Church of God religious affiliation provides values-based foundation
- Small total enrollment (256) means everyone knows each other
- Very high Asian demographic concentration (85%) — consider whether your family values a more diverse peer group
- Religious affiliation may or may not align with your family's values and practices
- Little ethnic diversity overall — the student body is not representative of New York City's mosaic
- Limited information available about specific academic programs, extracurriculars, or curriculum approach
- As a private school, tuition applies — exact costs not listed
Wellspring Schools is a small private school serving pre-K through 5th grade with a Church of God religious foundation. The school enrolls approximately 256 students across these early childhood and elementary years, creating a tight-knit community where teachers know every child.
The student body is predominantly Asian (85%), with small populations of White (10%) and Black (4%) students. This homogeneity means your child will be part of a very specific cultural community — there isn't much racial or ethnic diversity within the student body itself.
Hollis is a residential neighborhood in central Queens, known for its tree-lined streets and single-family homes. The area has a moderate family density and is predominantly residential — families here are looking for a quieter, suburban-feeling pocket within the city.
Hollis is car-friendly more than walkable — families will likely drive or rely on buses to get to school, depending on where they live in Queens.
