Welcome

Queens Paideia School is an independent K-8 school that implements widely accepted tenets of educational theory and current research pertaining to how children learn best. Because of our 6:1 student-teacher ratio, we are able to focus on students’ academic and personal development, resulting in competent and confident learners.
Queens Paideia was founded in 2009 by a group of educators and parents who shared the concern that traditional classrooms, with their high student-teacher ratios and limited methodology, cannot accommodate the needs or consider the true potential of most children. QPS offers a viable alternative for parents who seek academic rigor, emphasis on the “whole child,” and greater involvement in their children’s education. QPS is subsidized by the Mechner Foundation as a long-term demonstration of providing personalized learning for children with diverse abilities.
