Organization Details

Description & History

We are located in Jackson Heights, Queens which has a large population of 1st & 2nd generation Americans.

Our goal is to complement the public education system to create greater opportunities for achievement for local children, including many who do not speak English at home. Our school currently provides 3 year old preschool; 4 year old universal pre-kindergarten; after school homework assistance, and a summer school program. We have just completed a study course to assist local 8th and 9th grade students who are taking the entrance exams for specialized high schools in NYC. Our vision for the near future is to add more opportunities for older students to participate and to build a play structure ("The Learning Park") for our school age students to enjoy.
