Amazing things happen at the intersection of challenge and support, big and small, personal, and worldly. We believe that you should not have to decide between one thing or another. It is no accident that we have created a place where you can have both. A place where you can have it all. Founded in 1857, Queens University is a small, private, co-ed, masters-level university focused on tailoring dynamic students outside of the classroom. In all of our programs, Queens emphasizes active and collaborative learning, meaningful student-teacher relationships, a creative synthesis of the liberal arts with the world of work, and the value and necessity of lifelong learning. You are graduating from high school soon or transferring from another school, and you want to live on campus for a traditional college experience. You are considered financially independent, you are resuming studies after a long period away, and you may be balancing school with other obligations, like work and family. You are a professional or degree holder who is interested in either on-campus or online programs. Here, you get more than an internship. You get career preparation. Relationships. Your experience will help you translate a well-rounded education into a successful career. Our curriculum incorporates professional skills each year; our small size means that staff and faculty will know you personally so that they can connect you to the right opportunities beyond campus. Our Vandiver Center for Career Development ensures that you have the skills, resources, and connections to succeed. Our center is set up like a corporate office, so you can begin to feel comfortable in interview rooms and conference rooms before graduation. From here, you will take this knowledge, experience, and confidence with you into work in Charlotte and even around the world. No matter which of our 43 majors and 66 minors you choose, you will learn from professors connected in their fields. They have extensive relationships within the community and are enthusiastic about exposing you to who and what they know. As they learn more about who you are, they make it a priority to leverage their connections and experience for your benefit. A firm grounding in the liberal arts means you will learn problem-solving, critical thinking, and crisp writing skills. This prepares you for any career, even those that do not exist yet. In fact, according to the Council of Independent Colleges (2014), 80% of employers say they look for these liberal arts skills when hiring. General education is the academic experience that all students have, regardless of major. At Queens, it sets us apart. Through the Queen's Advantage, you will take multiple courses from different disciplines to tackle a significant theme - sustainability, social justice, or immigration. During senior year, you will weave it all together, all that you have learned. Study abroad is a core part of the Queen's experience. We believe in a global perspective that we provide traditional undergraduate students with a fund to use towards an international experience. Study abroad is about education as much as travel: 95% of students who studied abroad found a job within 12 months of graduation, a testament to the self-confidence and skills gained by living and learning in another country. These are our most popular programs. You will travel about 10-14 days, traveling with classmates and your professor to a region that builds upon a semester of study. You may study biodiversity in Ecuador, British literature in London, or art history in Florence. Increase your language proficiency with a language immersion program. You will live in another country for four weeks, gaining cultural immersion and speaking the native language. Dive deeper into another culture. We are a member of the International Student Exchange Program, a 300 universities network in over 50 countries. You will have a world of options to explore for a semester of study. You can also spend a summer studying business in France and Shanghai. All of our traditional undergrads do internships, and some choose to do theirs overseas. We have partnerships that enable us to offer affordable, professionally immersive internships during which you work abroad and even live with a local family. You can apply for scholarships to help offset the cost if needed. Students majoring in business, political science, or international studies may participate in summer programs offered through our partnerships with ESSCA and EM Strasbourg, two premier business schools in France. Both schools offer a unique perspective on global business and politics. Engaging and learning on and off campus is an integral part of the Queen's experience. From new opportunities to traditions, there are countless ways to get plugged in and involved. Choose your path to begin your customized college experience. Our faculty (undergraduate and graduate) are encouraged to incorporate service as a learning tool into their curriculum. We have students that do community work in Charlotte as well as internationally through course study. The McColl School Executive MBA students work on a local not-for-profit consulting project during the summer between their first and second years. This allows them to give back to the community by employing their highly sophisticated management techniques to solve an organization's problems. The majority of Queens' students study abroad, and a service component is included in most trips. Whether it is student teachers, communication majors, or accounting students, they are encouraged to learn by helping others. View full university

Quality teaching and learning is at the heart of Queens Park Community School. We care about every student, we inspire and motivate our students to learn and achieve. It is not about where you come from it is where you are going to that counts. Our high expectations are underpinned by first-class teaching in mixed-attainment groups, challenging and supporting every one of our students to progress towards their life goals. Our emphasis on creativity enables Queens Park students to flourish. They have the freedom to express themselves thanks to our strong academic, cultural, artistic, and sporting curriculum with excellent enrichment. Our students experience success. They are challenged to achieve their aspirations. When they leave us to go on to university, jobs, or apprenticeships, they are proud to say “QPCS made me who I am.” They come back and share their success, inspiring the next generation and building our community. We will be a center of academic excellence, at the heart of our community, and with the highest aspirations for all of our students. Queens Park Community School is part of Career Ready. For the past eight years, we have created opportunities for students aged between 16 to 19 years old to be part of this great and exciting movement. Career Ready is supported by some of the biggest names in British business and by linking academic study with employment the Career Ready program presents the opportunity for students to broaden their future education and career choices. Artsmark and can be awarded to schools over a period leading to the gold standard. Indeed, this normally takes several years of progression in meeting the criteria and then setting ambitious targets to progress through the levels. In March 2012, QPCS applied straight for the Gold award, which is only given to a few schools where the Arts are impacting across the curriculum to enhance the educational experience of all participants in drama, music, art, design, and dance. QPCS gained a Gold standard which is an exceptional achievement. The majority of our students are taught in mixed attainment, mixed-gender tutor groups. We aim to maximize opportunities for utilizing different teaching and learning styles to raise attainment and accommodate the needs of all our learners. For all groups, raising the attainment of the students is our priority. The school has eleven areas of learning. Art & Design Technology English Performing Arts Languages Humanities Mathematics Science Business Computing Physical Education Personal Development Each faculty has a specialist suite of rooms grouped so that teachers can work and plan in teams. This improves the quality of lessons offered to our students. Homework is set regularly. The emphasis on homework is a significant factor in our student's academic success and parents are asked to involve themselves in this aspect of the school’s work. All children from 11-16 follow a balanced program of study which fulfills the requirements of the National Curriculum and leads mainly to GCSE exams. Students in Years 10 and 11 continue to follow a broadly common curriculum with the expectation that this will provide them with the maximum choice of progression routes. In Key Stage 3 classes are taught predominantly in mixed-attainment groups. This encourages teachers to view students as individuals and set them to work appropriate to their current level of attainment. Under this system, high attaining youngsters can be moved on to advanced work much more quickly, whilst those who from time to time are struggling, are set work which is structured to their needs. We have an exciting program of opportunities for able and talented students. In Key Stage 4 the “tiering” of some GCSE subjects means that students need to be grouped according to the tier of the exams they will be sitting. At sixteen you choose where you continue your education. The choices open to you are Sixth Form at QPCS, a College of Further Education, another Sixth Form Centre, or an apprenticeship or work-based training. All young people have to stay in education or training until they are eighteen. View full school
