Mission

AT SCHECHTER QUEENS, WE EMBRACE A DIVERSE, MULTICULTURAL, AND MULTILINGUAL JEWISH COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS FROM PRE-SCHOOL THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE, PRIVILEGED TO HAVE NEW YORK CITY AS THEIR CLASSROOM. OUR DEDICATED, SUPPORTIVE, AND WARM FACULTY AND STAFF WORK TOGETHER TO FOSTER A STRONG AND VIBRANT COMMUNITY AND AN EXCELLENT ACADEMIC AND JEWISH ENVIRONMENT. TOGETHER, THEY STIMULATE AND CULTIVATE STUDENTS' CREATIVITY, INDEPENDENCE, AND INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY BY UTILIZING CUTTING-EDGE PEDAGOGICAL METHODS AND TECHNOLOGIES. OUR STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL THROUGH A DUAL JUDAIC AND SECULAR STUDIES CURRICULUM, ROOTED IN STEAM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ART AND MATH). TOGETHER THEY STUDY TORAH, MODERN HEBREW, ISRAEL, AND EXPLORE JEWISH TRADITIONS. SCHECHTER QUEENS STUDENTS BUILD LIFELONG TIES AND GET TO KNOW THEIR COMMUNITY AND THEMSELVES, GRADUATING WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND CONFIDENCE TO MEET THE CHALLENGES OF HIGH-SCHOOL AND BEYOND.
