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.
