Established in 1918 and having recently celebrated its centennial, The Kew-Forest School is the oldest independent, co-ed, college preparatory school in the New York City borough of Queens for students in Preschool through Grade 12. Embodying the rich diversity of the Queens community, our families and staff collectively represent 70+ nationalities and speak 30+ languages. Students are exposed to different perspectives, backgrounds, and cultures simply by getting to know their peers and teachers as well as through immersion in an inclusive curriculum. At Kew-Forest, you will find that our community nurtures lifelong learners, our educators inspire young people, and our students support each other. Our small size allows us to be nimble in response to individual student needs as well as to challenges faced in education today. We offer on- site, hybrid, and remote learning scenarios as needed.
