The 30th Avenue School (Q300)

Q300 is a city-wide gifted and talented public school with diverse learners spanning kindergarten to 8th grade. Our school, located in the heart of Astoria, Queens, has an active and engaged community dedicated to the core values of Inclusion, Inquiry and Responsibility.

Our Mission

Through the inclusion of diverse student identities, inquiry based learning, and data-driven decision making, Q300 will graduate students who collaborate with others to ask meaningful questions, to solve complex problems, and to engage responsibly with their communities and beyond. By exploring who they are and who they want to be, students engage in the active process of making knowledge and better understanding the world around them in ways that drive a sense of responsibility and action.

Our Values

Inclusion. We inquire about others' families, interests , and dreams to know others as individuals. We give others what they need to succeed academically and socially.

Inquiry. We ask questions, investigate, analyze to make informed decisions, share our learning, and reflect. 

Responsibility. We are on-time, prepared and complete tasks in a timely manner. We work in effective teams to solve problems. We use our gifts and talents to support our communities.

Our agile educational approach focuses on teaching a curriculum with models of differentiation and personalization.
