The Queens School of Inquiry is an Early College Secondary School, grades 6 though 12, the result of a collaboration of the New York City Department of Education, the City University of New York, Queens College and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Beginning with 6th grade, the goal of QSI is to create an environment that prepares young people to earn up to 60 Queens College credits - tuition free - while they are earning a high school diploma.
