Teaching students to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners
Since 2002 we have established a culture of learning and academic success that we can be proud of.
OWN 1 Elementary School (Astoria)
OWN Charter School is a fantastic place for young people to learn. Since our doors first opened in 2002, we have worked tirelessly to meet our goal of providing our diverse student body with an excellent education based on active inquiry, experiential learning, and social justice.
OWN 1 Middle School (Long Island City)
We prepare our students to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners. OWN is proud of all we have accomplished with our students, parents, and community since our school opened in 2002. Together, we have established a culture of learning and academic success that we can be proud of.
OWN 2 Elementary School (Howard Beach)
Our World Neighborhood Charter School 2, in Howard Beach is located right at the border of Brooklyn & Queens. It takes pride in bridging two communities. We are proud to serve a rich, culturally, and ethnically, diverse community. We truly embrace the concept of a liberal arts education. In addition to a solid academic foundation of Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies which students study from K through 5th Grade, our students begin Kindergarten and continue through 5th grade with Art, Health, Music, Physical Education and Spanish.
The most fascinating thing about OWN 2 is the joy that is shared between students on a daily basis. Students are always eager and willing to learn when they come to school each day.
OWN 3 Elementary School (Corona)
OWN Charter Schools are a fantastic place for young people to learn. Since our doors first opened in 2002, we have worked tirelessly to meet our goal of providing our diverse student body with an excellent education based on active inquiry, experiential learning, and social justice. We prepare our students to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners. Our newest school, OWN 3 will continue this tradition of providing an exemplary school setting when we open our new Elementary School in the Fall of 2022 in Corona, Queens.
OWN 3 will be located in a state of the art new building at 108-68 Roosevelt Avenue in the heart of Corona, Queens serving Grades K-5. We are now enrolling Grades K-1 for the Fall of 2022 and eventually adding a grade each year thereafter.
