Opened in the fall of 2011, Academy of the City Charter School is a tuition-free, community-based public charter school originally located in Long Island City in western Queens. We launched our school year with just over 100 students. In August 2013, Academy of the City moved to our new permanent location in Woodside. Here we have space to offer a classroom spaces for art, music, physical education and science. We also have a library with over 5,000 volumes and computer lab staffed by a librarian/technology teacher.
We have been named a Reward School by the NYS Education Department in 2017, 2018 and 2019 in making the most progress with no significant gaps in student achievement. With our progressive educational model, the Academy’s goal is to motivate and prepare students to engage in a lifelong love affair with learning, resulting in a meaningful and productive life. Our teachers are firmly committed to empowering students to embrace their proficiencies, skills, and interests, and to eventually take their place as citizens of today’s increasingly global world.
We are firm believers in an integrated educational approach, where even our youngest students experience personal and educational growth as a result of a diverse student body that more closely mirrors the world outside the Academy’s doors. Here, English language learners, students with special needs, and high-performing students can feel equally at home. Our rich and varied curriculum and our focus on the uniqueness of each child’s needs and aspirations is a proven model for long-term success.
