At a Glance

A Small, Traditional Elementary School in Residential Auburndale

Best suited for

Families seeking a small, traditional nonsectarian elementary school in a residential Queens neighborhood, and who are comfortable with a homogeneously White student body.

What stands out

  • Small student-teacher ratio (12.8:1) allowing for more individualized attention
  • Nonsectarian affiliation — no religious curriculum
  • Traditional elementary structure from pre-K through 5th grade
  • Coeducational environment serving both boys and girls
  • Established private school with stable enrollment of approximately 425 students

Things to consider

  • The student body is 100% White with a diversity index of 0 — families seeking a diverse school community should note this
  • As a private school, tuition applies — costs are not reflected in this data
  • The school serves only elementary grades (PK-5); families will need to plan for middle school placement
  • Located in a residential neighborhood with limited walkability to mass transit

Identity

The School Maintains A Conventional Approach To Elementary Education, Emphasizing Core Academic Subjects In A Small-Group Setting. As A Nonsectarian Institution, It Does Not Align With Any Religious Tradition, Making It Accessible To Families Seeking A Secular Private School Option.
