What is multiage education?
A classroom is "multiage" when it is deliberately grouped across age levels instead of chronological age. Children of different ages (at least a two year span) and ability levels are grouped together without dividing them into groups that are designated by grade levels. Whenever possible students remain in the same classroom with the same teacher for two years.
Excellent Students, Promising Futures:
Queens Lutheran School students consistently score above the national and local average on standardized and New York State tests. Our students often qualify as area and regional finalists in spelling contests and in other challenges. Our eighth grade students are well prepared for their high school entrance exams and score well on the Catholic Cooperative Exam and specialized high school test. Many of our students qualify for acceptance to prestigious high schools and continue to excel throughout their high school experience due to the fine educational foundation they received at our school. Recently five students were accepted at Brooklyn Technical High School, five at St. Francis Prep School, one at Townsend Harris High School, one at Information Technology High School and several received full scholarships.

Study Skills for High School Students
Courses / Programs
Developing good study skills in high school will prepare you for academic success in college. Learning how to effectively manage your time, how to prioritize your work and how to retain important information are skills that will be of huge benefit to you throughout your life.
While you still have the support of your teachers in high school, you are expected to think for yourself and to take control of your learning. Whether you're a freshman or a senior, you can improve your study habits by making a few changes to your routine. Your academic success is entirely up to you!
Try to study in quiet environments that are free from distractions - you can't concentrate effectively if you are constantly being interrupted. Have a dedicated study area at home, and use your school library also. If you have disruptive classmates, try to sit as far away from them as possible so you can focus on your teacher.
Create an efficient and realistic study schedule for yourself and stick to it. Study for blocks of 20-50 minutes and make sure you take plenty of breaks. Try to be physically active during your breaks but make sure you return to your study!
