About the Windsor School
The Windsor School is located in Queens, New York. With a flourishing economy and convenient traffic, it is about a 30-minute drive to Manhattan. It was chartered as a private school by the Department of Education in the State of New York in 1969. It obtained a permit from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and had legal qualifications for international student recruitment. Relying on competent faculties and quality education, the school was appraised and chosen to be one of the members of the College Entrance Examination Board and the College Scholarship Service.
Advantages
