Located in the heart of Queens, Garden School provides a memorable school experience for children. Garden School was founded in 1923 to meet the need for a high-quality, independent school in Queens. Garden School works with families in partnerships that fulfill the promises made to provide rigorous academic programs in a nurturing environment. When children enter the early learning years at Garden School, it is the first step in an educational experience that will continue through high school. Starting with the 2-year-olds, the school provides a balance of work and play that introduces children to the learning process. Teachers design classroom activities to help foster creativity, logical thinking and independence in all students. The program is coordinated through themes, reading and written work, student projects and trips. Students in grades 1-6 begin to study reading, writing, social studies, science, math and computer, along with classes in art, music and physical education. For students in grades 7-12, the faculty remains dedicated to assuring that students continue to develop both intellectually and personally in a challenging academic environment. Honors courses are also available, as well as Advanced Placement courses in all disciplines. Intensive college counseling begins at grade 9 with 100 percent of students going on to college. Garden School also offers a musical program for students in grades k-12, where they can learn a variety of instruments with a skilled professional musician. An afterschool program, including Foundations enrichment classes, clubs and sports, is available until 6pm. Call Garden School today for registration or more information.
