Q300: A Progressive K–8 Public School in Queens
Q300 is a progressive K–8 public school in Queens, New York. Their mission is to foster inquiry, inclusion, and responsibility — and their approach to learning reflects it. The school emphasizes inquiry-based learning across every grade level.
When Q300 looked to bring enrichment into the school day, they needed a partner who could match their standards: expert instructors, highly customizable classes, and programming that expanded well beyond the traditional curriculum.
The Challenges
Q300 needed enrichment that went beyond what a traditional vendor could offer.
Supplemental Staff Support
The school needed additional instructional support without sacrificing the quality their community expected.
Access to Expert Instructors
Q300 wanted access to expert instructors who could deliver highly customized classes tailored to their students.
Expanding Beyond Traditional Curricula
The school sought enrichment opportunities that went further than what standard programming could provide.
The solution
A Partnership Built to Grow
Togetherhood offered Q300 a partnership with fully customizable classes led by expert instructors. What began as a single class evolved into a robust daytime enrichment program woven into the school week.
The flexibility of the model meant Q300 could start small, test what worked, and scale confidently — all without the overhead of managing individual vendors or hiring additional full-time staff.
How We Reached This Level
From a single soccer class to 32 weekly sessions — one step at a time.
Testing the Waters
The partnership started with a single soccer class, once a week. A low-commitment way for Q300 to experience what Togetherhood could deliver.
Special Event Success
For Black History Month, Togetherhood delivered “Artists of the Harlem Renaissance” — a two-week special event that showcased what deeper programming could look like.
Expanding the Partnership
By Fall 2024, Q300 had scaled to 32 fully customizable weekly classes spanning visual arts, STEM, movement, and more.
The Results
A partnership that grew from one class to a school-wide enrichment program.
Customized, High-Quality Enrichment
Q300 students now access a wide variety of classes — from visual arts to STEM — each tailored to the school’s inquiry-based approach.
Seamless Staffing Support
Flexible scheduling and expert instructors meant Q300 expanded enrichment without needing to hire additional full-time staff.
Enhanced Educational Experience
Programming that fosters creativity and engagement across the school, going well beyond what traditional curricula offer.
