The Young Women's Leadership School of Astoria opened in 2006 as part of a national network of college prep schools for young women.

Our school is established to include advisory, rigorous STEM, humanities and arts opportunities in a 21st Century learning environment. The Young Women's Leadership Network supports our school with a wide range of leadership programs including a 3 day - 2 night trip to Camp Manice in Florida, Massachusetts in 7th grade and annual 8th grade apple picking trip. Our students participate in citywide Hackathons, visits to Google and Buzzfeed, trips to the Bronx Zoo and Museum of Natural History, day trips to Philadelphia, PA and DEA Art Museum in Beacon, NY and much more. Our middle school sports teams include basketball, volleyball and soccer. The College Bound Initiative (CBI) provides college access support with a full time CBI college counselor. Students begin college visits in the 6th grade.
