VOYAGES PREP-SOUTH QUEENS

Voyages Prep-South Queens, located on Baisley Boulevard in Jamaica, is a public transfer high school specifically designed to support students who have fallen behind in credits or have previously disengaged from traditional schooling environments. As a member of the New York City Department of Education’s network of transfer schools, the institution prioritizes a personalized approach to education. Its primary mission is to re-engage students by providing a flexible, supportive, and small-school setting that allows them to work toward their high school diploma at their own pace while overcoming the academic and personal obstacles that hindered their previous progress.

The school is characterized by a strong emphasis on student-teacher relationships, restorative practices, and holistic development. Because it caters to an older student population—often those who are "over-age and under-credited"—the curriculum is structured to be both rigorous and manageable, often incorporating project-based learning and advisory programs that help students plan for life after graduation. By fostering a close-knit community and offering individualized academic planning, Voyages Prep-South Queens aims to provide a "second chance" pathway that leads students toward college readiness, vocational success, and long-term personal achievement.
