The right NYC Private Elementary School is the dream of every parent raising a young child in the city. For many parents in the Queens area, that means the Kew-Forest School. Kew-Forest is an independent, coeducational, college preparatory school that enrolls students from Kindergarten through grade 12. Kew-Forest opened in September of 1918 with an initial class of just 50 students. Now with over 400 students, this small school continues its core focus of providing a high quality education focused on providing the best possible foundation for college.
The environment of Kew-Forest is decidedly international, with a very high percentage of multi-lingual families with varied religious backgrounds: Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and others. Cultural diversity is celebrated at Kew-Forest and provides yet another aspect of student education.
