Voice Charter School, sometimes shortened to VCS, is a charter school located in Queens, New York City. As of April 2024, it serves students from kindergarten to eighth grade. [1] [2]
Voice Charter School was founded in 2008. [3]
Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, some students declined their spots at the school. Because of this, the school decided to offer spots to 70 children from asylum-seeking families. [4] By 2023, the school's population included 267 migrant students, the most of any charter school in the state. [3]
All students are required to take music classes; [3] [5] in elementary school, these music classes are held daily. [6] For students for whom English was not their first language, the music classes also help them with language acquisition. [3] [6]
The school also offers a soccer and track program, open to students regardless of gender. [3]
