The Yeshiva of Central Queens welcomed a strong turnout of prospective families to its Open House on Wednesday, November 4. Parents met faculty and school leaders and got a firsthand look at how YCQ combines a rigorous education in Judaic and general studies with a commitment to each child’s growth.
After opening remarks from Principal Rabbi Mark Landsman, Early Childhood Director Morah Shana Weiss, and K–8 General Studies Associate Principal Mrs. Melissa Cohen, families broke into four groups and followed their own class schedules through five faculty-led sessions.
Parents heard from teachers across grade levels and subject areas about how students gain the skills and inspiration to become lifelong learners and grow as b’nei and b’not Torah. Sessions ranged from hands-on learning in early childhood and building foundational skills in the elementary grades to fostering a love of Torah and a commitment to Torah u’mitzvot. In “Beyond the Classroom,” families learned about opportunities for students to explore their interests and develop leadership skills through extracurricular activities and after-school programs.
The evening concluded with a special video presentation, dessert, and Maariv. YCQ thanks all the families who took the time to join us and get to know our school community.
Applications are open for the 2027–2028 school year. Prospective families can apply at ycq.org/apply-now.
