Queens Explorers Magnet School Curriculum

Our thematic curriculum is developed using best practices from many research based programs. Students learn about Social Studies and Science through our ELA and Mathematics units. Each unit incorporates a focus on STEAM, computer science, and language development.

Reteach and Enrich Programs

Each student has individual academic needs. At Queens Explorers we look at the data and the whole child to address those individual needs in the most effective way possible for that student. This instructional program is scheduled daily for ELA and Math.

New York SunWorks

​

Our students are exposed to the world of urban farming in our hydroponic greenhouse. Our SunWorks Greenhouse will offer our students the opportunity to grow food while learning about nutrition, efficient land use, climate change, conservation, pollution, and sustainable development.

Maker Space and Engineering Room

In our Maker Space Engineering Room, the students will expand on our curriculum in hands-on, creative ways.   Students are encouraged to design, experiment, build, solve problems, and invent as they deeply engage in science, engineering and tinkering.

Action Based Learning Lab

The Action Based Learning Lab is a room focused on strengthening motor skills and learning through kinesthetic movement.  Students will be able to reinforce skills and content that they have practiced in the classroom using movement as another strategy for learning.

After School Enrichment Programs

Our After School Enrichment Programs are aligned with STEAM and Global Conservation.  The students have an opportunity to explore engineering, Google First coding, digital book making, BRICKS, sports, and many more.

Technology 

Each classroom is equipped with technology including promethean boards, document cameras, individualized MAC lap tops and individual student ipads.  This technology enhances instruction, allows students to expand their horizons, and provides the opportunity to build college and career skills.
