Dear Parents and Guardians,

Imagine:

• a small, safe and caring school where your child is well known, intellectually challenged, and celebrated by every adult in the building! 

• a school where your child will learn by asking questions, solving real problems and actively and happily doing the work of learning with dedicated and highly skilled teachers, parents and our community!

• a school where your child, by the end of 12th grade, will receive a high school diploma and up to 60 college credits - tuition free!

GREAT NEWS!

The New York City Department of Education, in partnership with the City University of New York, Queens College and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is proud to announce the opening of a new school in our community: The Queens School of Inquiry, an Early College Secondary School. Beginning with a 6^th grade class in September of 2005, The Queens School of Inquiry will offer the opportunity for its students to graduate with up to 60 college credits and a high school Regents diploma. 

The Queens School of Inquiry offers a well planned, rigorous, engaging and creative course of study with individual attention paid to your child, building on strengths and addressing needs. We will help your child believe in... and be prepared for... college in the future.

 Our school program is comprehensive and satisfies all New York City and State Regents requirements. Special attention will be given to inquiry - learning how to learn. We believe in preparing all children - one child at a time - to become active, college-educated citizens. Our students will be the new leaders of the 21^st Century; they will make genuine contributions to their communities. We will work with you and your child starting in the 6^th grade and continuing through until the 12^th grade. We offer:

• small class size
• highly trained, dedicated, and caring teachers
• hands-on learning with real world application
• after-school and summer intensive programs
• a strong partnership with parents

 We are fortunate to be located in Queens, the most culturally diverse community in the nation. Our student population will also reflect that diversity. Our school is open to students of ALL ability levels. Struggling students, students with special needs, students just learning English, and students who perform at or above grade level, -  ALL will be given every opportunity to enjoy the full advantages of our school.   

For further information, please call Elizabeth Ophals at 718-380-6929 or email at Elizabeth.Ophals@mail.cuny.edu. We welcome you to join us in building a satisfying, successful, and productive future for our children!

 

Elizabeth Ophals, Principal
