Garden School

Garden School is a co-educational independent school in East Elmhurst and Jackson Heights, Queens, New York City offering a K-12 education.

[citation needed] The first classes were grades K–3 and met in the Laburnum Court Apartments under the guidance of Dorothy Gleen, Charles Townshend, and Josephine Wech.

In 1925, grades 4–6 were added as John Bosworth Laing became the director.

In 1927 Otis Flower assumed leadership as headmaster and moved the school to its current location.

[citation needed] Amid financial trouble in 2012, the school agreed to sell an athletic field to the city for $6 million.
