Queen of the Rosary Academy

"I don’t like to write reviews but as I’m reading some of the reviews and I had to answer to them. QRCA is a wonderful school. My kids love it, the teachers are awesome. They prepared our kids for the future it has a great curriculum, I don’t feel that the kids are loaded with work. I have my three daughters attending. My oldest graduated 5 years ago and wishes she could do it all over again, why? You might ask. Well is because of the wonder, fun, loving, caring principal Mr. Daino and his wonderful teachers and staff. My other two kids: one is in kindergarten and she loves it, the other is in third grade and can’t complain she is wonderful. All of my daughters started at the age of three and although I have a catholic school near me I would not change them. QRCA is family and that’s difficult to find especially in NYC. So please don’t listen to those bad reviews you have to come in for a tour and see for yourself. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed."

"Thank you to our wonderful staff and administration for keeping the school a safe and welcoming place. As an educator myself, I take great pride in the work being done with my son, now in middle school, and his preparation is beyond my expectations at Queen of the Rosary. My son wants to skip to college... and honestly, I think he is probably better prepared than I when I graduated high school. -- Diana, 2019 "K-3 was easy. Fourth grade and up is challenging. You have a lot of opportunities to grow with reading plus and mathletics. It’s anti bully which I like. I have good friends in school. The teachers are pretty nice." ~Nicolas Torres, 6th grade 2018-19 We always feel a sense of peace and security when we drop off our son at Queen of the Rosary daily. We know he is left with amazingly caring and loving staff. And, when he is picked up only to get wonderful experiences reported. Our Nicolas has been at QR since he was 3 yrs old in the nursery program and is now in the 6th grade. He is happy and grateful to be in his school. This school has a lot to offer and more than just academics. During the school day they have music, art and even a Spanish immersion class. After school programs includes honors program, band, chess, basketball, specialty clubs etc. Come visit our school to meet our wonderful staff and speak to our children directly for feedback. ~David & Díana Torres Proud parents of Nicolas & supporters of QRCA"

"My son started in pre-K through the recommendation of a playgroup friend. He is now in the first grade. Choosing a school in NYC can be a daunting decision. The school offers a safe, intimate, family-oriented environment. There is a culture of respect for difference and strong no-bullying policy. My son is progressing nicely in reading and math without the sense that he is being overly-stressed or pressured. The religious aspect to the curriculum offers an important basis to discuss big questions children naturally ask. I highly recommend stopping by for a visit."

"Queen of the Rosary is such a hidden gem! We heard about it through friends a few years ago and put our son in the nursery program, which was wonderful. He stayed for Pre-K and is now in Kindergarten and excelling in reading and writing. The school community is more like a family, and all the teachers know his name, support and encourage him. I know he is getting an excellent academic education, but more importantly I feel confident he is in a safe, loving, and respectful environment. The current principal started a Mathletics program, drama class, and after school activities like karate. I love that there is language class, technology, and art offered too. It is really an incredible value and I highly recommend it. They offer tours so you can call and make an appointment to check it out."

"My son started attending this school in Pre-K; that was the first year that they offered free Pre-K through NYC's Universal Pre-K program. We were so pleased! The teachers were so kind and caring, and the program offered structure, but at the same time allowed him to be a kid. He was nearly reading at the end of his pre-k year! We have stayed with the school and now my son is in first grade. He says words like "magnificent" and can read everything! I love the school for so many reasons, but here are a few... updated clean building, technology in every room (smart boards, computers and iPads), art, music and foreign language as part of the weekly curriculum and small class sizes! You must visit this school to see for yourself!"
