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]

History

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]

Education

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]
