Education should never be about just filling in the blanks or simply getting to the next level. At Queens Paideia it is about challenging math problems, stimulating texts, research on topics students care about, meaningful essay development, and exposure to world history and the scientific method. QPS middle school students embark on personal learning paths, tied to our standard curriculum, that give them choices about what they do and how they learn. Under the guidance of QPS’s experienced learning managers, students form a larger sense of the world and are excited to learn more about it.
Queens Paideia’s high degree of personalization–6:1 student ratio–means students achieve academic and personal development, including social-emotional goals and organizational habits. When our students leave for high school, they are ready for what comes next, including experience with managing their workloads, planning out projects, meeting deadlines, and collaborating successfully with others. They take with them a solid foundation of skills and knowledge as well as communication and interpersonal skills.
Queens Paideia is at the forefront of school reform, both in terms of the conversation we want to have with you and what we actually do with our students. We invite you to visit and learn about how your child can become a more independent learner, armed with skills, knowledge, and creativity that will make a true difference for life.
QPS is located in the LIC Arts Center in Long Island City, accessible from Manhattan, and Brooklyn by the E/M/R/7/G trains, and at the heart of Queen’s culture and tech boom. For more information, see our Web site (queenspaideiaschool.org) or send us an e-mail at info@queenspaideiaschool.org.
