About

The Young Women's Leadership School (TYWLS) nurtures the intellectual curiosity and confidence in female identifying students. We are committed to supporting all students in order to maximize academic achievement, social-emotional well being, and post-secondary success. TYWLS-Queens is supported by Student Leadership Network and College Bound Initiative (CBI) to replicate the best practices of private and independent girls schools. TYWLS-Queens opened in 2005 as the third school in the Student Leadership Network.
