Our goal at the Queens School of Inquiry is to create as many opportunities for students to take college courses in high school. We know that may require teachers and students to think about school somewhat differently, but we think it is worth it. By starting college work earlier, students have the opportunity to learn what college is all about. They will start off in college-level courses here at QSI with other QSI students as their college classmates.  We also start with college courses extended over an entire year instead of just one semester. This will give students more time to understand what's required in college. Then, as they gain more confidence and skill, they'll have an opportunity to take courses on campus at Queens College with other typical college students. QSI students also have an opportunity to select courses that may be of specific interest to you in the later years.

The chart below outlines what a typical path through QSI might look like. Courses highlighted in blue carry Queens College credit (and possibly high school credit, too). The parenthetical (R) indicates a Regents exam is associated with that course. There will be a Summer Academy each year for both enrichment and earning high school and college credits.
