Garden School: Nurturing Potential, Building Futures

 


Welcome to Garden School,

A co-educational college preparatory school for students from Nursery to Grade 12.

Where Every Child Thrives

Garden School isn't just another school. We're a place where children are known, nurtured, and challenged to reach their full potential. Founded in 1923, our mission remains the same: to provide a high-quality, individualized education for bright and talented young minds.

A Legacy of Excellence

Our experienced faculty combines tradition with cutting-edge educational practices. We offer an extraordinary experience that maximizes both academic and personal growth. Our inclusive environment welcomes families as partners and celebrates the uniqueness of each student.

A School on the Move

Garden School is always evolving. We are constantly innovating, making a positive impact in the community, and building partnerships to provide students with the best opportunities inside and outside the classroom. We recently launched a strategic plan, "The Road to 100," which has led to exciting new programs in humanities, arts, robotics, science, athletics, and more.

Investing in the Future

We are committed to providing world-class facilities. Our recent campus renovations include state-of-the-art science labs, a new fitness center, and updated learning spaces. Next year, we begin work on stunning new visual and performing arts studios and a theater.

A Global Community

At Garden School, we cultivate curiosity and encourage students to see themselves as members of a diverse global community. We foster a caring environment where students can develop strong social skills and a sense of responsibility for others. This makes Garden School a true home away from home for our students, and why over 2,000 alumni return to mentor future generations.

Small By Design, Big in Opportunity

Our intentionally small class sizes ensure individualized attention for every student. Yet, Garden School offers a vibrant learning environment with a wide range of academic, athletic, and creative opportunities. This nurturing atmosphere allows students to set ambitious goals, take risks, and grow intellectually.

From Nursery to College and Beyond

Our journey begins with our youngest learners and culminates in a supportive college counseling process that guides students towards success at top universities. We partner with families at every stage, ensuring a smooth transition from nursery school to college and beyond. Our independent status allows us to be responsive and tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of each student.

Accessibility and Diversity

Garden School offers a lower tuition than many other NYC independent schools, making our exceptional education accessible to a wider range of families. This commitment to affordability creates a diverse student body that reflects the dynamic Queens community.

Join Our Family

When you choose Garden School, you choose a place where your child will be seen, understood, and valued as an individual. We are committed to partnering with families to fulfill that promise. Thousands of families have entrusted their children to our care, and our nearly 100 years of success is a testament to our unwavering commitment to student success.

Explore the possibilities!
