Tucked away in College Point, St. Agnes Academic High School – a small college preparatory school for young women – is away from the hustle and bustle of Main Street.
Because it is located away from the main roads of Queens, many residents, especially those new to the borough, are not immediately aware of College Point and are not yet familiar with St. Agnes High School.
So administrators call the school “The Best Kept Secret in Queens.”
The school boasts moderate class size; an outstanding, dedicated, fully-accredited faculty of religious and lay teachers; comprehensive academics, physical education and extracurricular programs; an exceptional fine arts program; and hands-on access to the latest technology, all within a deeply-rooted tradition of faith, family, achievement and service.
The student to teacher ratio is 14:1, and, while classes vary in size, none exceed 30 girls. St. Agnes recognizes and celebrates the ethnic diversity of its students and strives to educate these young women in a manner that will impact their success and happiness for the rest of their lives.
St. Agnes, the first Catholic high school in Queens, was founded in 1908 by the Sisters of St. Dominic of Amityville. Through the years, St. Agnes has continued its academic excellence, and encouraged each young woman to develop her potential as a woman in an atmosphere of integrity.
Don’t let the location deter you; getting to St. Agnes is easy. Students travel by bus from all areas of Queens. The buses stop close by St. Agnes and make the trip quite convenient for the girls.
Choosing a high school for your daughter can be difficult; after all, you want her to be happy as well as academically prepared for the challenges of higher education. Be sure to visit St. Agnes and take a look for yourself at a caring, faith-filled school community where every girl is known by name, as well as by her individual gifts and talents.
