The curriculum is reviewed and updated regularly. Queens Lutheran School holds an Absolute Charter from the New York State Board of Regents.
• Excellent Students, Promising Futures - Queens Lutheran School students consistently score above the national and local average on standardized and New York State tests. Our students often qualify as area and regional finalists in spelling contests and in other challenges. Our eighth grade students are well prepared for their high school entrance exams and score well on the Catholic Cooperative Exam and specialized high school test. Many of our students qualify for acceptance to prestigious high schools and continue to excel throughout their high school experience due to the fine educational foundation they received at our school. Recently five students were accepted at Brooklyn Technical High School, five at St. Francis Prep School, one at Townsend Harris High School, one at Information Technology High School and several received full scholarships.
Most importantly, at Queens Lutheran School children learn and grow in their understanding about who they are as children of a loving God and about God's purpose and promise for their lives. By attending Queens Lutheran School, a child is prepared for a life of faith and learning.
