The Kew-Forest School

My son will be entering kindergarten this upcoming fall. Everything that I've seen and experienced so far of this school has been excellent. I definitely think it's in the league with Manhattan's private schools - (we have some experience - my son went to a preschool program on the west side, which was wonderful). The KF School is excellent and my son just can't wait to start!

From a current student at KF, this school combines the best of a classical education with the best college prep can offer. KF has seen its hard work pay off in the recent college admissions: George Washington, Brown, University of Pennsylvania, Tulane to name a few. This school is definitely on par with some of the great private schools in Manhattan such as Collegiate, Dalton, Browning, and Trinity.

Take it from a student - KF is amazing. Although the school maybe small and people don't really know about it, each student has potential that teachers bring out in them. I am so proud of all the work that I've done, and I'm incredibly thankful for the teachers who help out in the best way possible. Each teacher assists a child individually, if they notice the child is having trouble in a subject, and make the lesson work for the child in way of explaining that just works! It's worked for me! To be honest, I'm outraged by two other reviews that gave KF zero - three stars. KF is NOT a horrible school! Those reviews are just examples of how the school fits with you. Apparently, they didn't get the aura that all the other families got. To sum it up, Kew Forest is the best school in Queens.

I have four children at this school and have been very happy with the education, warm learning environment, and the easy interaction with the teachers. My kids are happy!

This is my sons first year at Kew Forest and he loves it. He is really excited to go to school everyday and has had nothing but great things to say about the teachers and other kids there. I feel the same way, but to have your child feel that way about their school is a wonderful feeling. I would recommend Kew Forest 100%!

Our son has been at K-F since Kindergarten. His confidence, poise, politeness and knowledge are noticeable to strangers, family and friends alike. He is secure, articulate and well-rounded. The diversity and academics of the school should not be underestimated. We attribute our success not only to the nurturing environment and strong academics at K-F but also to the follow up at home. We are happy with the school and fir the future it offers our son.

Kew Forest is a wonderful school. I send both my kids because it is a rich learning environment but also because it is a place where students learn to be respectful of one another. The students truly care about one another and this is fostered by the great teaching staff! Thank you Kew Forest!

Kew-Forest is a school that allows students to live up to their potential. Given the size of the school, the resources are tremendous, and because it is so small, all of the students have access to the resources. The school has been successful in creating a very diverse and respectful community environment that allows students to flourish academically and extracurricularly. Nothing is perfect (the athletic program is adequate, not superb), but the school has everything you could hope for to put your child in a position to have a realistic chance at the colleges on the top end of his/her range.

A perfect choice in my opinion in lieu of same gender schools I had previousl planned to send my son and daughter. A small setting that offers so many opportunties, such as balance of academic, social, diversity, etc. It is my children temporary second home with the best teachers and administrative staff who understand good values and cultures.

Kew Forest School has it all from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. Their lower school is nurtouring and teaches a solid core curriculum with plenty of extras. The middle school is curriculum is challenging and rounded. The High School level is way beyond exceptional. Students are challenged in all subjects and prepared for the future of college. All HS students go on to college and usually get into their first pick of school. Kew Forest School has it all! I am so glad that I found the school and have sent my children here!
