We want our children to be bilingual and we're thrilled that both have entered a dual language english/Spanish program. We also love that fact that this is an IB school that focuses on 21st century skills. Last but not least, the school hired a COVID consultant and reorganized the entire school in order to be able to have children on premises and meet social distancing standards. Although they do have a remote option, this thankful parent is thrilled to drop the kids off at real school every morning.

We visited a number of schools and sought the the advice of countless friends and family before finally being introduced to Pine Street school. We attended an informational social which gave us the opportunity to meet faculty, parents, students, and learn more about the IB program and curriculum - we were blown away by the enthusiasm of the teachers, the global exposure the students had, and the close knit community we encountered there. But it was our children's response that really informed our decision to apply as they were eager to spend more time with everyone they met that evening and excited to learn more about the school. Fast forward to today and we couldn't be happier with the decision that we made. Pine Street School truly supports the whole child: the curriculum is rigorous and engaging, and we visibly see how they are preparing our children to go out and make a difference in the world. Students go on more field trips than any other school I've encountered - they really make sure that they have an opportunity to go out and experience the world. It is apparent that the thoughtful approach to learning supports the development of our children intellectually, emotionally, and socially and we couldn't be more pleased. And they continue to impress us and exceed our expectations, especially during this unprecedented time where our children need more love, support and consistency than ever; they are the only school that I know of that offers 4.5 hours of synchronous learning each day while school is physically closed due to social distancing! Incredible! They have managed to maintain the academic standards and preparation that we've become accustomed to during this challenging time: it doesn't get more committed than that. I could go on forever but will stop by thanking Pine for continuing to reaffirm why we made the best decision possible by enrolling both of our children. Thank you!

The parents are mostly the type to think their child does nothing wrong, but will have no problem arguing with the principal if anything at all happens to their child. Bullying does happen often, with little to no consequences to the bully, especially if they have a parent on the PTA. There are some great teachers, but sad how much the administration and teachers are cowed by over protective and pushy parents. They do have some great programs, and good grades, but it's not all nice.

Both kids have probably learned more in the first 2 months at AOSJ than they learned at the public school in one year. They are very happy with the quick pace of learning and feel that they are finally being "seen" for who they are and the talents that they possess.

One is 8, the other is 5…read more Great stuff about this school I wrote about previously is still true -- small number of students for the 5 teachers on hand means the kids get a ton of attention that is exactly tailored to their own stage/age/interests and helps them move along a lot faster on the topics they are good at, and move well on the topics where they have difficulty -- there is a great mix of ages and styles around, and the mixed ages actually work together on stuff. Kids learn and see the good examples of kids 1-2 years older and that really motivates them to advance. "I want to do that!" At the same time, no stigma if you are a little behind on something and working with some other age groups -- Very little homework. It means the school time is working. Our kids are advancing quickly and doing a ton -- but teachers don't have to push off all the hard work to the parents in the evenings. There is tons of productive time in school since "classroom management" doesn't chew up half the time. What attracted me here, as a cognitive science PhD from Stanford myself, was the stellar intellectual grounding for the school its founder (Columbia PhD and former faculty) and multiple veteran and PhD educators on staff.

In the hallway on the last day of 2018-18 school (presentations day), some of the other dads and I compared notes and we found agreement in the following factors of QPS: 1. All our kids, without exception, love their school. Not like... love. Every dad in the group shared that our kids have never once tried to get out of going to school in the morning. Not a single time. Our kids love their school, tell us they love their school, and love going to school. This factor, if it were the only positive one, is extraordinary. 2. All our kids spend their school days learning "stuff", like kids in schools everywhere. However our QPS kids have all developed a strong ability to effortlessly synthesize all the stuff, and offer considered opinions to questions or topics that bridge multiple areas of knowledge. We agreed that our kids *think* first, and then *speak*. 3. The staff of QPS is uniformly excellent. From the principal to the PE coach, the TAs to the specialist learning consultants, the QPS teaching and learning team is literally amazing. QPS teachers enter into partnerships with our kids. Our kids feel validated in their individuality, and motivated to learn. My kid has been saying since his kindergarten year that he never wants to leave QPS. As a parent in today's NYC, I am deeply grateful that QPS offers my child such a safe, happy, inspiring place to grow into the confident and kind young man that he's clearly on track to become.
