I.S. 59 nestles in at the heart of the Springfield Gardens community. Scholars at Intermediate School 59 Queens are literate and well-informed problem solvers. They use their natural talents, gifts and abilities as springboards to high levels of academic achievement. Our students are confident, and are able to express their thinking and reasoning in a variety of ways. They are self-motivated learners capable of making strategic choices that will impact themselves, their families, communities, as well as present and future generations. All our scholars leave IS 59, with a balance of academic and interpersonal skills they will need to carve out their own place in the world. As we move towards becoming a STEAM School (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), we offer a rigorous academic program along with dance, visual arts, chorus, and drama. We host a wide variety of clubs. They include Volley Ball, Basketball, Student Government, I.S. 59 Young Ambassadors Club, and Debate Club. Our Rising Stars Academy is a coveted accelerated program that engages our scholars in the Future Problem Solvers Program. We believe that community partnerships are the key to developing a safe, efficient and effective learning environment.
